Or you can use dovecot. 

doveadm import -u user -s mbox:/path/to/dir INBOX all

Put mbox as file called inbox under some dir and make sure its readwritable by target user uid.

Similarly you can use doveadm sync if you want to keep syncing it for a while or do on the fly migration.

1. Edit dovecot.conf and change mail_location to new format and location.

2. Run doveadm sync -u user mbox:path

3. Restart dovecot

4. Run sync again
