That's true, but maybe I keep old database-formats ?

Nice to hear, thanks!

Can I use something like this in ImapCopy.cfg ?

#############################
# List of users and passwords
#############################
#       SourceUser    SourcePassword   DestinationUser DestinationPw
Copy    "cyrus"       "cyruspw"        "cyrus"         "cyruspw"


And is it fast?
