Importing Mails without "to" header

[Michael Polenske]

Hi Joseph,

the worst information is that we have not really a possibility to change the 
mail that should be migrated. We do a migration from Lotus Notes, and because 
we were not able to find tools for migrations mails from Notes to Imap (imap 
on Notes is not switched on) we use a tool that convertes Lotes Data to 
Outlook .pst data, wich can me moved via a Outlook Client into our mailserver 
(in german we say "from behind through the eyes).

So if there is a possibility to tell cyrus to be more flexible I aprecciate 
all hints in this direction :)

Best regards,
Michael
