For 2000 accounts, you definitely do *NOT* want to use UW-IMAP.  
Performance will be horrid.  Especially if run via inetd.

If you have access to the passwords, or don't mind resetting everyone's 
password, you can use imapsync to move messages between two IMAP servers.  
Install Courier/Dovecot/Cyrus, configure it to run on one port, UW-IMAP 
to run on a second port, then script the transfer of everyone's mail.  
It'll automatically be converted from mbox to Maildir.  :)

As for getting UW-IMAP to work better/faster/smoother ... all I can say 
is "good luck".  :)
