Yes, convert the files like this: su - cyrus -c "/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cvt_cyrusdb /var/lib/imap/deliver.db berkeley /var/lib/imap/deliver.db.skiplist skiplist" mv /var/lib/imap/deliver.db /var/lib/imap/deliver.db.berkeley mv /var/lib/imap/deliver.db.skiplist /var/lib/imap/deliver.db the same for tls_sessions.db. Then, edit /etc/imapd.conf and start cyrus-imapd. Anyway, if something fails, deliver.db and tls_sessions.db are not really very important so you could even remove those db files and let cyrus-imapd start with new empty ones.
