[Dovecot] Backing up mail?

My mail server is running on a Fedora FC5 box.  I need to move the 
mail server to another computer and so I need to back up my user's 
mail and move it.  I have found mail in /var/spoo/mail/[users] and in 
their home directories there is a 'mail' directory.  All users have 
an 'Inbox' file that is empty and I think the one IMAP user has a 
'Trash' file that is huge!

Are those the only files I need to copy or are there others lurking 
out there that I don't know about?

Thanks,
