We need to move the mail spools from the slack machine to the freebsd

Yes. UNIX mailbox files are simply a sequence of mail messages
concatenated after each other.
Please note that you should only move mailboxes while delivery is
stopped to them though. Otherwise, you may end up with corrupt
mailboxes on the destination folder.
Good point. Note that one should stop *clients* reading the mail via
IMAP or whatever, too. :-)
