Hi,
i know too different konzepts of migrating mailservers. They both have
pros and cons.
1. split mbox, copy, reconstruct
depending on how your POP-server stores the mails, you have to split
each mailbox into single files for every e-mail. Then you copy the files
to the cyrus folder and run reconstruct.
But you will loose the seen status and you may have to change the files
depending on the fileformat of the original inbox.
2. use POP/IMAP-Protokoll to copy the e-mails from one server to another.
I have only tested this for Imap-Imap transfers, but mailutil (part
of the
UW-Imap) can handle different types of servers.
You must know the passwords, or be able to gain access to the
POP/IMAP account
Or if your server has an admin password you can use that :-). E.g. the
cyrus admin. In the past I have set up uw-imap to use pam, and pam had
an admin password.
