Hi Timo,

followed your suggestion. After execution of cyrus2dovecot without any 
substitution flags I got this:

drwxr-xr-x 11 vmail vmail  4096 Jul  8 16:27 .
drwxr-xr-x  3 vmail vmail  4096 Jul  8 16:22 ..
drwxr-xr-x  5 vmail vmail  4096 Jul  8 16:22 .Drafts
drwxr-xr-x  5 vmail vmail  4096 Jul  8 16:22 .Sent
drwxr-xr-x  5 vmail vmail  4096 Jul  8 16:22 .Templates
drwxr-xr-x  5 vmail vmail  4096 Jul  8 16:22 .Trash
drwxr-xr-x  5 vmail vmail  4096 Jul  8 16:22 .blah
drwxr-xr-x  5 vmail vmail  4096 Jul  8 16:22 .blub
drwxr-xr-x  2 vmail vmail  4096 Jul  8 16:22 cur
-rw-r--r--  1 vmail vmail   119 Jul  8 16:27 dovecot-uidlist
drwxr-xr-x  2 vmail vmail  4096 Jul  8 16:22 new
-rw-r--r--  1 vmail vmail    44 Jul  8 16:22 subscriptions
drwxr-xr-x  2 vmail vmail  4096 Jul  8 16:22 tmp

I did that already before my troubles came up. But the behaviour is not what I 
want. I'd like to have all folders, standard and user made, *below* the INBOX 
not at the *same level*. Cyrus doesn't have the "INBOX." prefix as well. The 
appropriate directory of cyrus looks like that:

-rw------- 1 cyrus mail 8469 Jul  7 00:21 1.
-rw------- 2 cyrus mail 2114 Jul  7 00:22 2.
drwx------ 2 cyrus mail  176 Jul  8 14:42 Drafts
drwx------ 2 cyrus mail  176 Jul  7 00:20 Sent
drwx------ 2 cyrus mail  176 Jul  7 00:20 Templates
drwx------ 2 cyrus mail  200 Jul  8 14:42 Trash
drwx------ 2 cyrus mail  240 Jul  7 00:22 blah
drwx------ 2 cyrus mail  192 Jul  7 00:23 blub
-rw------- 1 cyrus mail 1912 Jul  8 14:42 cyrus.cache
-rw------- 1 cyrus mail  175 Mar  3  2008 cyrus.header
-rw------- 1 cyrus mail  272 Jul  8 14:42 cyrus.index

And the view of cyradm:

user.martha (\HasChildren)              user.martha.Trash (\HasNoChildren)
user.martha.Drafts (\HasNoChildren)     user.martha.blah (\HasNoChildren)
user.martha.Sent (\HasNoChildren)       user.martha.blub (\HasNoChildren)
user.martha.Templates (\HasNoChildren)

It seems to be the default behaviour of cyrus to put all folders as subfolders 
below the INBOX.

I don't wanna waste your time, but wouldn't it be nice to make a real 
transparent migration from the users point of view?
