Re: Migrating Cyrus to new server AND new mailboxes

I have a working Cyrus IMAP 2.1.13. I would like to migrate to a new
server (new machine), running Cyrus IMAP 2.2.10. Additional trouble is I
would like to move existing users to new mailboxes/usernames. For
instance, I would like to do this:

Old.ev.co.yu( IMAP 2.1.13 ): "user.nikola"
New.ev.co.yu( IMAP 2.2.10): "user.milutinovicn"

Isn't it possible to rename a mailbox with 2.2.x? IIRC you have to enable
renaming in imapd.conf and then it should work. Maybe you could give it a
try.

Any why not move (after renaming) with 'xfermailbox' (after upgrading your 2.1 to 2.2 ;-))?
Isn't that much faster then using imapsync or something?
And upgrading 2.1 to 2.2 isn't hard, is it?
