[imp] How to import mail box ?

[Patrick Boutilier]

Wasn't the old software restored after the hardware upgrade? To save a 
lot of work I would transfer /var/imap , /var/spool/imap, etc/imapd.conf 
(and any other needed config files (you didn't mention what version of 
Cyrus)) from the old box to the new.

Usually when a hardware upgrade is finished the only difference is the 
box is more powerful, the software on it should be identical to what was 
there before the upgrade. :-)
