One option is to create PST's of your mailboxes, and then on the clients
using Outlook you can just import the PST. Also, I know there are some
imap copying scripts/utils floating around out there that sound fairly
easy to use.
Do you have Admin access to your Exchange server? If so, you could use
exmerge to dump PST's of all of the mailboxes (this can be scripted as
well), and then re-import them on the client side from within Outlook.
Are you just going to be using squirrelmail, or roundcube, for your
webmail client? You could just use the one machine that has Outlook and
setup a profile for each user (could be a PITA depending upon how many
mailboxes you are talking about...), and then import the PSTs.

1) If you have a cleartext copy of the user (e-mail addresses of their
mailbox) and password information, that can easily be scripted into the
vpopmail/bin/vadduser command to automagically (via script) add the
usernames and passwords.
This is no problem...
2) Getting the old messages and folders may be more difficult -- but in the
past, I've just told individual users to copy over what they wanted (thus,
giving them a chance to clean out some messages) -- in fact, I use a little
"human engineering" here& lie -- telling them that we pay extra for all the
storage, so only copy what they really need!
But this is: AFAIK only one user has Outlook configured and others are
using Remote Outlook webmail, which of course does not offer the
chance to copy messages to remote IMAP server.
Best,
Peter
