That's a good idea. But can I simply set the encrypted pwd with cyrus? 
Is that just a change in the mysql db of cyrus, or do I have to call 
cyrus programs? I've not used it too much...

I think I could, but I'd like to be sure it
a) doesn't destroy e-mail contents
b) works

Did anybody make such a dump/reload with changing encoding? What does 
that do with utf8 characters? And, BTW, why is us-ascii working but 
utf-8 not? shouldn't utf-8 allow more characters that us-ascii? And 
does that mean 8bit headers from cyrus are converted somehow? Would 
that cause problems with imapsync again? Questions....
