You meant from Cyrus to… another Cyrus? :-?

There are some admin tools that may help:

You’d have to take account on:

  • User’s data (e-mails)
  • User accounts (cyradm)
  • Cyrus global config
  • Sieve scripts (if any)

I always make the migration by hand, but for many users (>100) is not a
feasible task O:-)
