Hi,

When moving my users from courier to dovecot I used the imapsync tool, which I 
then made a script for.

Some info on imapsync http://freshmeat.net/projects/imapsync/

This worked great, and as it preserves flags users did not have to re-download 
mail. You might want to tune some of the parameters like wheter to subscribe 
to folders or not.

No, I only had maybe 100 accounts to move, so I don't know how well it stacks 
up with moving large amounts between servers.

Cheers,

Arne
