Has nothing to do with the distribution or webmail frontend, but with the IMAP 
server. If you are using the same IMAP server before and after, you should 
just be able to copy ....

If not, you must check which mail format is currently in use (ie mbox vs 
Maildir), and check whether the new IMAP server supports it, and if there are 
any differences in mailbox location and naming of folders.

Of course, test it first if at all possible ...
