I'm migrating mail server to new server;

all mail is for  virtual users in /var/home/vhosts/%dom.tld%/%user&/Maildir;
owned by '5000' as so
drwx------    5 5000     5000

I was looking at activate the new mail server, and, then, rsync the
existing Maildirs to 'synchronize' old & new servers;

as I'm the only user with shell access, should I just add shell access to
user '5000' for the purpose of running rsync, then, remove it?

or, what's a proper way to do this copy ?

what the proper way to add/remove shell, can I just edit /etc/passwd ?
do I need to give user '5000' a name, or can I just use '5000' in rsync ?
