If you can run both machines during the conversion, I'd bring up the
new one, then rsync over the home directories and any other data,
making sure the related applications work. If you make changes to the
IMAP server, there is an imapcopy utility that will move all mail to a
different type of server - or for a few accounts you can just recreate
the folder structure from a client, connect to both accounts and drag
the messages over, letting the servers take care of the
storage/formatting details.
