Probably not worth it. What I've done, with much success, is to move
the users to the new server, empty maildir and all, and then move
the mail over with tar cf - /home/*/Maildir |rsh newhost tar xf -C /home
The most that they (can) notice is that mail arrives out of order if
they check their mail during the mailbox transfer process.
