Having been down that road, it was pretty unmistakable.

Yes. migrate-pw-to-cyrus2.pl creates INBOXES for users. createfolders.
pl creates sub-folders. batchsubscribe.pl subscribes users to their
mailboxes. These scripts were written for a 2.0 migration I did. If
you're using something other than flat files for subscription, you'll
need to use the database conversion utility to convert them. Also, a
lot of paths are assumed, so if you're using directory hashing (or full
dir hashing) you might have to make adjustments. I hope you know a
little Perl :) I've only used these scripts once and wrote them in less
than an hour when I discovered I wasn't going to be able to use the Tcl
scripts, so YMMV.
You might find the mailutil a little easier, although I've never used
it, so I can't say.

Unfortunately, the book is way out of date, although the steps for
migration are correct.
