Thanks for you suggestion, but I couldn't quite get it to work.
I ended up rsyncing the mail folders (there were only a few email accounts) a temporary folder on the new server and then used dsync to restore the mailfolders.
Thanks again for your help

Since both of your servers are running dovecot it would be probably better to use native doveadm protocol (over ssh pipe if required) to do the migration instead of using imapc.
something like:
doveadm backup -u user1@newserver -R ssh oldserver sudo /usr/bin/doveadm dsync-server -u user1@oldserver
allowing sudo and ssh login with keys.
