Thanks Timo for the answer - that helps a lot...
Now, some follow-up.
I assume this means that all version of 2.x (to current) can read 1.x files. [If I'm wrong, please correct me.]
Is there a tool to convert/migrate the mailbox format from v1 to 2, or does v2 do it "automagically" or something?
[I'm sure there must be a tool, but some searching wasn't finding it for me.]
As long as I'm asking about mailbox formats, is it possible to use DBox with postfix - it appears on the Wiki that it's not, but then I find posts on the web that appear to indicate it *is* possible. [We're using Postfix as our MTA.]
Thanks again all!

In an ideal world, I'd like to simply copy all the mailboxes/dirs from one server to the other. [Local/LAN file copies are possible]
