Of course you can keep Postfix to run it in conjunction with
Cyrus-IMAPd. But be aware that migration from uw-imap is not that easy.
In any way, either after a fresh new install of FC2 with Cyrus-IMAPd or
after an upgrade, you will have to migrate the mbox format mails to the
format that Cyrus-IMAPd uses (a Maildir format). Cyrus-IMAPd comes with
a tool for that. You may alternatively go over a second IMAP server to
which you move the IMAP folder contents and after the main server was
migrated get back all the content.
Read the Cyrus-IMAPd documentation carefully. That daemon is much more
powerful than uw-imap and therefor needs more setup steps and
configurations.
