Take a look at migrateIMAP.pl. You can find it here: http://www.athensfbc.com/imap_tools/, not to mention a lot of other IMAP tools.
I've used this specific script to migrate users from a competitors mail servers to mine when moving a virtual ISP. Worked like a charm. That time, I ran it on my server and pulled the mail, folders and "read" status over. The customer's never knew they moved... I've used it to move from one server to another on the same network too.
