[Dovecot] Mail migration troubles

I have a suspicion that, as usual, no one is going to 
answer my message.
Because of the fact that this is a call for help and
no-one ever bothers, I 'll just have to re-phrase my
question :

Here's what I found on the dovecot wiki :


imapsync
Here's an example of how to run imapsync for a single user:
imapsync --syncinternaldates \  --host1 192.168.1.57 --authmech1 LOGIN --user1 leah at example.com --password1 secret \  --host2 127.0.0.1    --authmech2 LOGIN --user2 leah at example.com --password2 secret
It is quite easy to script this for a number of users, assuming you have their passwords. Even if you do not, imapsync also supports logging in as an admin user that has the ability to copy message for sub users, and a variety of other authentication options.


Is the above what I need if I migrate mailboxes FROM dovecot TO dovecot ?
E.g. in my example, I only copy mailboxes from an old "user at domainA.gr" to
"user at domainB.gr".

Is the above all I need ?

Is there a native dovecot tool for this or should I just use imapsync ?

Thank you again,

s.
