Yes. At least it would get the mail moved to the new phone. I think it might be 
the only way (without rooting your phones) to get your email onto the new phone.

Without rooting the phones (as someone else on the list mentioned), Android 
doesn't allow direct access to the email data.

By the way, I've used the Android development tool, adb, to connect to my 
Android tablet and back up some stuff. But with rooting, it can't access the 
data to back it up, either.

In the past, I've moved mail between mail clients by setting up a mail server 
like Mercury/32 on my home network, and using a desktop mail client like 
Thunderbird to drag emails from one account to another. That preserved the 
sender and original header information. K-9 doesn't let us move email between 
accounts, unfortunately. And your emails exist only on your phone, so nothing 
outside the phone can reach them.

Backing up data on Android without root is one of the most annoying things 
about Android. (Another annoying thing is the endless collection of 
app-specific data formats. YADF is a plague!)
