With that approach, you lose all flags and seen state.  The mbxcvt 
program from UW imap-utils worked fine for us (with a perl wrapper to 
handle the fact that we were doing the transition one user at a time via 
a proxy rather than all at once and shutting down as well as going 
through all the folders automatically), with some minor hacking to 
handle the passwords.  I have been told that it now supports SASL so you 
can use auth plain and proxy as the administrator account rather than 
logging in as each user.
