not that I have a clue what the ultimate change is about but if one were
moving from brand x IMAP server to brand y, then the IMAP flags might
not be properly migrated...in which case, I use imapsync like this...

imapsync \
--host1 $ORIG_SERVER \
--user1 $USER1 \
--password1 $PASS1 \
--host2 localhost \
--user2 $USER2 \
--password2 $PASS2

but I suspect that this is dovecot on both ends and you've probably
given a much simpler solution
