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but your dovecot is very outdated, i would recommend get up to new hard and software/os install, and then migrate to new machine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,
