Ahh I get it thanks. I think then it will be faster for me to migrate using the imap \
server migration tool I found. The message files on my current server are not named \
like in cyrus and I woul dhave to rename approximatly 65,000+emails by hand. err no \
thanks. 

Now to get the csv address books imported and I am ready to roll. :)
