Recently I used imapsync (http://www.freshports.org/mail/imapsync/) to migrate about 250 mailboxes from courier imap to dovecot. I wrote a little perl skript to fetch the login credentials from MySQL =20= and then sync each mailbox. Can=B4t say much about performance or scalability, but I have read of =20= people migrating/syncing about 20k+ mailboxes with it.
