Yes, will break the UIDL structure in the finished mailbox in most cases.
Not a good thing to do

Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] How to forward entire mailbox
Ben,
I use the DOS/CMD "copy" command to append the old mailbox file to the new
one, e.g.
copy /b d:\imail\newpath\main.mbx + d:\imail\oldpath\main.mbx
Then delete main.srt and main.uid from the new mailbox path.
They are rebuilt automatically the next time the new mailbox is accessed.
If everything works, then delete the old mailbox.
List cracks: Any objections against this procedure?

Subject: [IMail Forum] How to forward entire mailbox
We have a couple of cases where we need to forward an entire mailbox. The
usual scenario is that a client loses an employee. The employee's mailbox
continues to collect mail until it's full. Then somebody notices, and we
setup automatic forwarding. In the meanwhile, there are all those messages
sitting in that full mailbox. We need an easy way to foward an entire
mailbox to a different mail address (usually in the same domain name). One
possibility is to rename the main file and then copy it over to the folder
for the new address. However, that seems pretty crude and really only
works if they're using IMAP.
We're using IMail 7.15. Any ideas?
