Re: Can I try to replace Dovecot with Cyrus in Virtualmin?

Hi,

I don't know Virtualmin, but Dovecot and Cyrus, use different ways
of storing Mails, so I suspect that you need to migrate the mails your self.

Depending on the size of the installation,(for tiny installation aka  
few users)
you can use local folders in your mail client to store the mails and copy them
back after the migration, (for larger installation) you can command line tools
like imapsync to move the mails from one server to an other. But this would
require you can run the old and new software in parallel, or that you have
a third IMAP server where you can  store the mails during switching.
