Ian,
We've done this before here at the Law School with a open source tool called "imapsync".

> 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!
