Moving IMAP mailboxes between servers?

Hi all:

I have a bunch of IMAP mailboxes that live on a server that we'll be
repurposing soon, so I'd like to move them to a different IMAP
server. Does anyone know of a tool that would allow me to do this
migration without going through the pain of manually recreating each
mailbox and dragging the messages across? (It's quite a few mailboxes
[~30] and messages [20,000+], so doing it that way would be a major
pain.)

More details:
        -The IMAP mailboxes are currently on a server running Mac OS X Server
10.3.9 ("Cyrus IMAP4 v2.2.12-OS X 10.3 server" to be specific). I do
have full (root) access to the server, if that helps.
        -I'm currently running Mac OS X Mail 3.3 as my mail client, but I
also have access to a windows box if there's something that would work
better in that environment
        -I haven't yet decided where to move the mailboxes TO, but I'm
leaning towards GMail as that's the only free IMAP service I know
about (other suggestions welcome).

Any thoughts/advice/experience would be most welcome.

Thanks!

Ian
