- I have looked at dsync but the docs state that the mailbox should not be accessed during sync, this is not possible for me (it doesn't say why this is the case however) dsync is intended for these kinds of migrations. I’m not sure where you read that mailbox shouldn’t be accessed during it?
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/Dsync "The source IMAP/POP3 mailboxes shouldn't be modified while dsync is running.”
I’m not sure why I wrote that. Maybe it didn’t work as well in
earlier versions. I removed the text now from the page.We have done it by simply copy the Cyrus Mailbox, use the "cyrus2dovecot" script listed here http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/Cyrus and afterwards apply dsync to convert if maildir is not the intended target format for Dovecot. The 2.0.19 Dovecot version is the one included in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS BTW.

Yeah unfortunately ubuntu / debian packages are somewhat outdated but the Dovecot docs say them selves not to use the later (nightly built) packages on systems that need to be stable.
