correct

you need to read the update-howto

dbmail-util can manage this but it takes VERY long because
also the header-tables have to be cleared and re-created

i personally would setup dbmail3 with only imap
on another port of the machine, configure it to
a new database and write imapsync-skripts from
localhost to localhost

especially because you migrate from !!!dbmail1!!!

a start would be:

imapsync --host1 localhost --port1 143 --user1 [user1] --password1 [pwd1] 
--authmech1 LOGIN --host2 localhost
--user2 [user2] --password2 [pwd2] --port2 144 --authmech2 LOGIN --skipsize
__________________________________

consider "imapsync --help" for the lot of options
i would let run imapsync many times because the first takes much
longer and after that only new messages are transferred and before
switch to the new instance "--delete2" for any account to get rid
of in the meantime deleted messages for your users

to generate a bash script for all accounts should be simple as
long you have cleartext passwords which is mostly the case if
you need CRAM-MD5 with some php/perl/python script reading the
userdatabase and write a imapsync-command per account

--delete2              : delete messages in host2 that are not in
                         host1 server. Useful for backup or pre-sync.
