I have written a python script that does migration from courier Maildir to 
Cyrus.
The script preserves flags, and fixes common header problems such as null 
characters
and non 7-bit characters.
The script is idempotent, so you can run it several times on the same users. 
It uses the message-id or a header hash to identify if a message has already 
been
transfered, and does not retransfer. 
It uses the admin account of cyrus, so it can migrate several users 
without knowing their passwords.

It is available from 
"http://limacute.projects.linpro.no/browser/trunk/tools/courier2kolab/courier2kolab.py";.

It requires python 2.5, however, if you also download from the following 
places, 
you can run it with python 2.4.
"http://limacute.projects.linpro.no/browser/trunk/tools/csv2ldap/optparse.py";
"http://limacute.projects.linpro.no/browser/trunk/tools/csv2ldap/logging";
"http://limacute.projects.linpro.no/browser/trunk/tools/csv2ldap/_csv.so";

The script assumes that you use virtual domains, and is written for migration 
to cyrus as configured in a typical Kolab setup.

Example:
A user "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is already created in cyrus. (Maybe via cyradm)
Email is in "/home/john/Maildir".
The administrative cyrus user is "manager" and has password "secret"
####
cat > maildir2cyrus_migration_list.csv <<EOS
email,maildir
[EMAIL PROTECTED],/home/john/Maildir
EOS
courier2kolab.py --sysuid manager --syspwd secret 
--labeled_users_csv=maildir2cyrus_migration_list.csv --log=/dev/stdout
####
