After a lot of analysis, I found that all user folders (and all other

was his Maildir (using dovecot) that was weird:
  - Old machine: 49 GB
  - New machine: 188 GB
Jan Stary solved it by asking "Have you tried -H to preserve
hardlinks?". And no, I hadn't. Wasn't expecting any in a Maildir. I've
learned something 😉 - wahay!
One more detail for the record: I've just learned that my boss uses a
Mac to deal with mail - everyone else uses Windoze. May be significant,
although I would have thought that Dovecot dealt with the actual
storage... <shrug>
