Hi, I recently moved several mailboxes from Oracle EmailServer to Cyrus using the script imapcp found at freshmeat:
http://freshmeat.net/projects/mbcp/?topic_id=28 The script basically worked out of the box on my RH9 and since it is a python script it was easy to modify it to my special needs. The transfer never stalled and transferred large mails of a couple of MB's without any trouble.
