Either by imapsync or some clever script? ---- sounds like you're trying to perform surgery with a butter knife instead of a scalpel. Generally, imapsync would do a bulk imap to imap transfer and then users folder structure would remain unchanged (and hopefully the seen.db would also remain unchanged). Is there some blocker ? ie characters used in folder names that are not permitted in cyrus? If so, why not use sed to change them to something legal. Should only require a little testing.
