Cyrus imap stores the individual messages as files in the same format as courier's Maildir. The only thing really necessasry to make the transfer would be to figure out the file naming scheme in Maildir, which is really pretty simple, and move the cyrus files to the proper directory in Maildir folder(s), renaming them with the maildir standard utime.sequence.hostname[:status].
