My FC3 x86_64 system has deliver in /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd.
The /usr/lib64/cyrus-imapd directory is empty.  In FC3's case maybe
cyrus-imap was built as a 32-bit application.

Depending on the amount of mail:  You could move the mail (with
evolution) into a local (non-imap) mailbox, shutdown dovecot and bring
up cyrus-imap, then move the mail to the new account.  It's not the most
elegant way, but it works.
