not that this is a major deal but I did manage to get cyrus running (it
should be worth it - it's very fast but there certainly was a learning
curve)

Things to note - for the record
I did remove uw-imap first (I'm a chicken)
apparently rpm's from fedora are invoca.ch derived

converting mbox files to cyrus took some time
converting procmail scripts to sieve - I gave up and retyped...there
wasn't that many.

Thanks for putting up with my questions.
