Cyrus to Exchange 2010 command

[Rhett Thatcher <rthatcher at stlawu dot edu>]

Its better late than never so here is the command we have used to successfully migrate about 100 users so far. As far as issues go… to be repetitive the Message-id and Receive headers work well to match messages on source and destination for multiple syncs. Surprisingly (pleasant) the mail size is smaller in Exchange than Cyrus so anything to do with size for comparison does not work. Exchange 2010 likes to disconnect IMAP clients so setting reconnectretry on that host to an arbitrarily large number fixed that. At the advice of some others we are allowing non tls connections to both IMAP servers which sped things up.

We have one outstanding issue we are still working on. A hand full of messages with attachments did not make the transfer and we are not quite sure why.
