Well in that case rsync is a valid solution as Courier uses and extended
version of Maildir - so it's all just files and directories, no fancy
database like Cyrus.

Having said that having just read the imapsync man page that seems like an
equally valid solution so it probably depends what you're used to: if you
already know rsync use that. But it is a bit fiddly to set up so if you're
starting from scratch you might as well go for imapsync and that's
probably slightly more robust.
