[Dovecot] Migrating from CommunigatePro to Dovecot - anyone done this?

[Kilburn Abrahams]

Migrated 300+ mailboxes a few days ago (pop->imap and imap->imap) using 
imap tools from http://www.athensfbc.com/imap_tools/. Use v1.74 tar 
file. The author fixed a date issue. For some reason Dovecot expects 
that time format to be 2 characters, so for example 2:10:41 will fail 
but 02:10:41 will pass. After the script was changed all went very 
smooth. You can use the mass migration tools (migrateimap.pl and 
pop2imap.pl)

I did not have much luck with imapsync.

Regards
Kilburn
