Yeah I got dbmail configured for multiple servers hosting the same domain (or 
others) but need an option to move users to another server hence the question 
came up during this post.

I'll stick to my migration script which uses the dbmail mailbox2dbmail command. 
Works but only good once as if the source deletes an email, it stays on the 
receiving side.. but I guess you wouldn't be switching back to the source again 
after that anyway..

Again, off topic but...

Is an option - it isn't great with large tables though. You could just 
use replication? (obviously wouldn't be email user/domain level aware)

Ideally, need to be able to partition users/domains between servers - 
could probably achieve something with a modified imap front end which 
decides which backend to use. (or a complicated mysql proxy route?)
