My first attempt was tho simply rsync the Maildirs along with the

this results in ~30% doublicated mails on the new server.
Er, a) you got 30% more files on the new server (aka target), than you
have on the old server (aka source)??
b) Or do you see them, when you login via IMAP to the the new server?
===
If a), did you ran rsync, while the source host is in production
still? Do you use "H" option to preserve hardlinks and/or "--delete"
if you run rsync multiple times?
If b), did you verified the duplication with a IMAP client, that does
_no_ caching on its own or with a fresh and empty local cache /
profile / ... .
I used -avu, where:
-a equals: -rlptgoD (no -H,-A,-X)
-u skip file that are newer on the receiver
I stopped the getmail cronjob to ensure that no new messages get fetched
while sync. After that I created a new account in Icedove and at first
all went well, but after a while I got duoplicates of abou 900 old
messages.
I admit I only looked that up from Icedove and not in the dir from cli.
