Depends   on  the  mailbox  format  you're  using.  Standard  MBOX  is
(approximately)  what  IMail uses, so it could be massaged easily into
IMail-compatible  format. MAILDIR is not supported by IMail, but there
are  MAILDIR-to-MBOX Perl scripts out there that you could run (on the
Unix box for closest compatibility) before moving the files over.

As  for  users,  IMail's ADDUSER command accepts an external text file
with  usernames and passwords. You'd have to be able to extract these,
which  absolutely secure and/or directory-based login methods (such as
LDAP) won't usually let you do.
