Postfix, Cyrus Imap & Procmail. Who knows the solutions?

Hello,

I'm getting crazy about this.

I have a Debian 2.2 Linux distribution, with a following packages:

ii procmail 3.15.2-1 Versatile e-mail processor.
ii postfix 0.0.19991231pl A mail transport agent

with the line of /etc/postfix/main.cf:

mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail -t
# mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail -a "$EXTENSION"
# mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail -a $DOMAIN -d $LOGNAME

Procmail and Procmail rules worked OK without $HOME/.forward file... By the
way, in what cases must be used the comment lines?

Well, I installed the Cyrus Imap server, for access from windows-client to
mail by IMAP protocol,

ii cyrus-admin 1.5.19-2 Cyrus mail system (administration tool)
ii cyrus-common 1.5.19-2 Cyrus mail system (common files)
ii cyrus-imapd 1.5.19-2 Cyrus mail system (IMAP support)

in /etc/postfix/main.cf, I uncommented the line:

mailbox_transport = cyrus

in /etc/postfix/master.cf, there is the line:

cyrus unix - n n - - pipe
    flags=R user=cyrus argv=/usr/sbin/cyrdeliver -e -m ${extension} ${user}

and Cyrus works fine, the access from windows-client by IMAP is good but I
have found 2 BIG problems...

All the old mail is stored in spool file format, and Cyrus uses its own
directory structure and maildir format. How can I migrate all these mails to
Cyrus format?

Another problem:

Procmail seems not working, the rules are not functional yet, I have changed
in the rules of delivery the path to maildir format as Procmail
documentation tells, but without any result.

Well, all the help to respect, I will be very pleased.

Thank you for your attention

Best regards,
Alberto
