I am migrating an ancient mail server running 2.6.6 to a new host

Simple question: Is it as easy as copying the /var/spool/mail/[user]
file and ~/mail directory to the new host for each user? I.e. is the
mbox format used still the same, or will I run into incompatibilities?
mbox is mbox is mbox. The whole point of standards is that they are
standard.
(Of course, it's also said that the wonderful thing about standards is
that there are so many to choose from.)
Don't sweat it, it'll Just Work.
