user migration

  1. is there any way to migrate users from fedora to debian system, carrying mail folder from each one and turning into maildir format. But, consider that FC mail folder originally had mailbox and now is using dovecot to have imap support.
    I've copied /home, passwd and shadow to save users into my new leeny based debian system.

    Do you use mbox or Maildir on the old system? If it's Maildir, copying over ther users' homedirs together with their entries from /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow and the groups from /etc/group should work.
