cyrus2courier 1.5.ts should work with Cyrus 2.2.12 if the seen (and
subscription) states are available in flat text files; otherwise, they
must first be converted using cvt_cyrusdb(8).

However, for our conversion, we've written our own "cyrus2dovecot" which
also supports skiplist databases (amongst another few features not
provided by the other tools):
