Can I use this tool even if I do not know the other remote server typology?
sure. just need both IMAP ports reachable and valid user/pass for both servers.
I think Davide was asking about dsync. If so, the answer is no: dsync works only when both servers are Dovecot and needs some additional configuration to work through the network (see https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication).
This is entirely incorrect. The source platform for dsync can be ANY IMAP/POP server.
The recommended tool for migrating into Dovecot is dsync. You don't need any other tool, and other tools aren't going to preserve state so they are pretty much worthless for a real-world in-place migration.
