You can't rsync uw-imap folders to a cyrus install, because they use
entirely different file formats.  Cyrus uses a one-message-per-file
directory hierarchy similar to a usenet news tree, whereas UW by
default uses flat files.  The ONLY thing you can do is imapsync them,
unless cyrus provides some kind of import tool.

That said ... for writable flat-file folders, the flags are stored in
each of the mail messages themselves, in X-Status and similar headers.
The UIDVALIDITY and other folder-level values are stored in the fake
message with subject "DO NOT REMOVE ..." that is inserted at the top
of each folder.
