migrating from dovecot to cyrus

[Marten Lehmann]

Hello,

I'm about to migrate an pop3/imap server from dovecot to cyrus. I'm 
planning to use the cyrus murder cluster in the long run, but the setup 
is a complex. And since the migration from dovecot to cyrus shall be 
done very soon because of performance problems in the current setup, I 
guess I can start faster with the standarc cyrus.

Is it possible to migrate from cyrus to cyrus murder later or do I have 
to setup a cyrus-murder completely separate so I cannot reuse parts of 
the standard cyrus setup?

What would be an recommended way to move maildirs (one file per message) 
to the cyrus storage for several thousand maildirs?

Regards
Marten
