Can be done very minimally.  When we converted from mbox to maildir  
(coincidentally to courier) about 4 years ago we just did it in the  
middle of the night and had a script that converted the mbox to  
maildir (found on a qmail site) and it went fast and quick and mail  
access was turned off for only a short time...

Probably less of a hassle then moving to cyrus but my experience with  
cyrus was long ago
