The biggest show stopper (apart from the hard work...) is the loss of the
"Seen" flag.
use imapsync to re-match imap flag and subscribe the imap folder.

FYI: cyrus doesn't use maildir format...
... True. But if you're really desperate and since the messages in
maildir(s) are all separated files (not one big mbox) all you have to do
is:
1. Stop maildir delivery
2. Create the same folder structure in /var/spool/whatever (probably by
altering the mailbox list file via text export/import)
3. Copy all the message files from maildir (while giving them a name in
the
line of the ones used by Cyrus)
4. reconstruct.
The biggest show stopper (apart from the hard work...) is the loss of the
"Seen" flag.
