in case you would have problems with this for whatever reason, another
option
is to simply start copying mail-folders inside a mail-client which
connects to both
old and new imap-server (or old mailboxes vs. new imap-server)

with that option you can even easily convert from mailboxes with "weird"
formats like native pegasus mail mailboxes to maildir-format, assuming that
you have set maildir-format as default on your new imap-server

just connect to your new imap-server with maildir as default inside your
email-client and start copying etc.
