If the servers are both available at the same time, any imap
client should be able to move messages between them.  For
example you can add the accounts to evolution (or outlook,
or thunderbird, etc.), create the folder structure you want
on the new server, then select and drag messages to them.
You can also move messages that you might have received
locally with pop with clients that do both.
