Have you tried dsync (part of dovecot)? I don't know if it works for migration to a different (major) version of dovecot, but it's a nice tool. And it works also over ssh.

Hope this helps.

What is the best way to copy the existing mailboxes from the older machine running dovecot v1.2.15 to the new naked machine?
i used imapsync in a bash script http://ks.lamiral.info/imapsync/ at a massive migration
ok, but this tool is not free of charge. Are there any known problems just copying the mailboxes with scp or rsync?
