Time to get busy on a script, methinks. I'll se what I can do. This
should be able to be done via perl and walking through the tables.
lastinsertid() is my friend. I'll see what I can come up with.

I'm not sure this is for you Curtis, but it might be for someone else.
Imapcopy or something similar like offlineimap is pretty much required
if you want to copy mailstores user-by-user.
This is very doable and the encrypted passwords are not an obstacle -
they are your friends.
Move account-1 from machine-a to machine-b:
On machine-a
- backup the password field (oldsecret) for account-1
- set the password to newsecret
On machine-b
- create account-1 with newsecret
[redirect incoming mail for account-1 to machine-b]
- run imapcopy [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
- set the password to oldsecret
[redirect incoming imap/pop connects for account-1 to machine-b]
done.
