imapsync is a _very_ useful tool to accomplish this. I don't know
Exchange, but if it allows you to have a kind of "admin" account having
access to all accounts or at least one at a time (and automatically
select which one), you can even automate the migration. On Dovecot, I
set a non-real user account, with the mailbox path being the same as the
user under migration.

A few scripting and you're done.

I've used it to move accounts from Gmail to Dovecot and from Cyrus IMAP
to Dovecot. Only pay attention with Gmail special IMAP folders: "All
Messages" and so forth.

Regards,
