    Hi peoples,

    I just installed FC2 onto my system which was running Redhat 9.0 (RH9)

    On the RH9 system I used to serve some users e-mail accounts using pop3.
    As these were casual Windows users, I'd run fetchmail to collect their
    e-mail from the ISP and then their e-mail would wait in
    /var/spool/mail/user_name until they checked their e-mail from their
    Windows PC. Their PC's would send their e-mail directly to the ISP's
    smtp server so I didn't configure sendmail or postfix.

    With the change to my system to FC2, I discovered that pop3 is now
    managed by the Cyrus IMAP mailer system. I worked out how to create
    their mailboxes and login via cyrus but I am at a loss to find out how
    to
            a. Convert their existing /var/spool/mail/xxx mailboxes
            to the Cyrus system
    and
            b. Given they are casual users, I want to still use
            fetchmail to get their mail off the ISPs' system, so
            how do I get any new mail into the Cyrus system

    Thanks in advance

    Burn
