Problems Converting from Cyrus to Dovecot (cyrus2dovecot)

[Philon]

Hi there,

I was in the same position, but for mutliple accounts. Still you might want to look at imapsync (https://github.com/imapsync/imapsync), isync and offlineimap. There are more alternatives listed at the imapsync homepage.
