    Hello,
    since imapsync sessions take to long for our several thousand mailbox
    setup (although it's still running in the background while I'm writing
    this) I'm asking myself, if there isn't another way to migrate the messages.
    Maildir does store each message in a separate file and same does cyrus.
    The accounts in cyrus are all created. Couldn't I just copy all messages
    from a Maildir to the according cyrus-folder and run a rebuild-tool for
    the mailbox after I moved and renamed the message-files? Which scheme
    does the numbering of the files follow in cyrus? Is it always increasing
    (1., 2., 3., and so on)? If there is such a tool, what is the name and
    how can I use it? I guess cyrus is rebuilding the cyrus.* files and
    updating the quota-usage?
    Regards
    Marten
