I am in a similar situation. I am running on a Centos 5 with Courier and would like to move to a Centos 7 setup with Dovecot. I have a mix of pop and imap clients. What would be the best way to convert the mailboxes to Dovecot after I copy them to the new machine? Thanks, Rick

I'm unsure as to the MariaDB admin password on the current machine as my predecessor set it up. I will poke around my docs and see if I can find anything. And, I didn't realize rsync was not in default install in minimal. Weird. Thanks again, Eric, this is very helpful.
