---- for 1 user - this may be effective - of course the user could do it themselves if the servers were on different machines or you could somehow get 2 servers (one cyrus - one mbox type server) running on different port numbers. Andrew Morgan has some migration scripts for this linked on the cyrus- imap web site and it took a little bit of hacking for me to make it work but it was definitely worth it.
