Hello all,
----%<----%<----%<----%<----%<----%<----%<----%<----
rsync should do the job
depending on your whole machine setup it might only be only umount old /home and mount new(bigger) /home after sync ,perhaps with tmp store elsewhere ( for sure you have to have a plan before doing..)
but your dovecot is very outdated, i would recommend get up to new hard and software/os install, and then migrate to new machine

On client machines I have thunderbird.
What if :
I would make sure that thunderbird keeps a local copy of all the message (I think there is a check box somewhere on settings)
Make sure all client machines have synced their mailboxes locally on thunderbird.
Install a new version of Dovecot/Horde/XMail etc.
When the new installation is done, try to sync from the existing clients pc's to dovecot ?
Would that work ? It's one scenario I am seriously contemplating.
Thank you very much again,
s.
in short words ,dont do it like this setup your new server, test it, then do i.e imapsync from old to new switch your ips then ,done
only one way which you can go look archives and www for migration tips
