At IU, how can I move my mail from Cyrus (Webmail) to another email system?

On this page:

• Export/Import archive
  The most convienient way (in terms of date and hierachy retention) of transfering your email to another mail system is to use Outlook to create an archive (.pst) of your mail, and then import that into the other mail system; however, the other mail system must the support IMAP protocol. If it does not, you need to use one of the other listed methods.
• Redirecting a message in Webmail
  Redirecting messages will preserve each message's original date, time, and sender when sending them to your other account.
• Forwarding a message in Webmail
  Forwarding your messages will apply current date and time stamps to messages you forward, rather than the date and time when messages were originally sent to you. Additionally, forwarded messages will appear to come from you rather than the people who originally sent the messages.
• Forwarding multiple messages in Webmail

Exporting and Importing as archive

• Exporting: Refer to In Microsoft Outlook, what are personal folder files, and how do I create them?
  
  
• Importing: See In Microsoft Outlook for Windows, how do I import mail from a Personal Folder file to an Exchange or IMAP account?
