This will work but it is not necessary.

imapsync --host1 oldserver.yourdomain --port1 143 --authmech1 PLAIN  
--proxyauth1
          --authuser1 DovecotAdmin --user1 UserYouWantToMigrate  
--password1 DovecotAdminPW
          --host2 newserver.yourdomain --port1 143 --authmech2 PLAIN  
--proxyauth2
          --authuser2 CyrusAdmin   --user2 UserYouWantToMigrate  
--password2 CyrusAdminPW

Depending on your setup you will need other settings as well, and you  
may want to use the
passfile options so that the adminpassword is not shown in the process list
