If I had to do it myself : (it could be uncomplete, sorry)

- first in imapd.conf set 'virtdomains' to what you want,
- create new user1 at example.net and user2 at example.com
- try to login as user1, user2, user1 at example.net and user2 at example.com,
check that the first have a not empty mailbox and the last have an empty  one.
- Use "imapsync" to copy all the emails from user1 to user1 at example.net,
continue with all your other user.
- update your SMTP configuration to deliver to user1 at example.net
instead of user1

Be carefiull to have enough spece to do all you user at once, or do it
one by one, removing old user

Hope this help
