oh no, please do not compare fetchmail -> smtp with any sort of migration - this would touch every message with new headers, nobody would like to do this really

Mails are full of headers that nobody cares about (except when tracing spam). The real negative point about this Fetchmail method is that the IMAP properties are not preserved, like read/unread status. Every e-mail will come in to the other server as a new unread mail, which could prove inconvenient.

So I have to concede: do the imapsync thing, or a user agent that can move between servers.
