[MlMt] moving my mail from one server to another—will my IMAP mailboxes & their contents survive the move?

[Antonio Leding]

Adding onto what Bill said, I’ve done this numerous times using 
`doveadm` (Dovecot IMAP backend).

I didn’t see the OP mention what they use on the server but whatever 
it is, one would think similar tools to `doveadm` would be available…
