I did several migrations with imapsync in the past and it worked quite well.

Usually I use a simple script like the one I've attached.

As authuser you have to use an account with cyrus admin rights
(listed in /etc/imapd.conf). You have to know their passwords, of course.
My script expects the admin users passwords in plain text in the files
"passfile1.txt" and "passfile2.txt"

The script also expects a list of IMAP accountnames as argument.

You then call the script like this:

./doit.sh accounts


You can use the script as an example, but you have to check the options
and adapt them for your need! Use the "--dry" option first!

HTH
