Yes on the source.

Other trick :
- try to increas imapsync verbosity an check for any error message
- increase the cyrus verbosisty : You can trac any imap command send
by a user ,
by just creating a directory inside the cyrus logging directory with
the same name
as of the user you wan to monitor.
Dont forget to give cyrus user right to this directory.

Do this on both end and check for error
