Just wondering why you have to debate this, because it should depend on
where your mail is currently stored. Dovecot will find it when you set the
correct mail_location and the correct authentication - userdb/passdb - in
whatever option you chose in /conf.d/10-auth.conf. I'd only be worried
about whether users who left mail on the server are forced to fetch them
again or if the migration is transparent.
