Migration from Courier-IMAP to Cyrus

[Michael Menge]

Hi,

i know of two generel ways to konvert folders from one Mailserver to Cyrus.

1.) extract the E-Mails from the original formart and insert them in  
Cyrus with deliver, or copy them to the right place an run reconstruct.
This method has the drawback that you will lose the Flags from the emails.

2.) Copy them with imapsync / mailutil (part of UW-Imap) with the IMAP  
protocol from one mailserver to the other. This is a little bit slower  
than the first way, but you will kept all flags and it is independent  
from the Mailserver used.

With perdition you can redirect users that have been migrated to cyrus  
while the others still are directed to Courier
