Does anyone know how to Move Emails From a unix format which is on server A to cyrus which is on server B

We migrated from WU-imapd to Cyrus last year...

The easiest way is to pipe the mail into deliver. It takes a little
custom shell/perl scripting, but nothing too tricky.

With that approach, you lose all flags and seen state. The mbxcvt program from UW imap-utils worked fine for us (with a perl wrapper to handle the fact that we were doing the transition one user at a time via a proxy rather than all at once and shutting down as well as going through all the folders automatically), with some minor hacking to handle the passwords. I have been told that it now supports SASL so you can use auth plain and proxy as the administrator account rather than logging in as each user.
