The best way to perserve the flags is by transfering the eMails over the 
  IMAP-Protocol. There are severel tools to do this job. Most of them 
are written to sync two ore more mailfolders.

As far as i have tested them there was no perfect ore even best 
migration tool.

We will use the mailutil programm which comes with the uw-imap server. 
It was the fastest programm and it keeps the flags.
