You can create an LDIF file and do a bulk import of your users, unfortunately 
you will need Firstname, Surname fields and also password fields.

Something like this should do it:

dn: cn=My User,dc=bla,dc=bla
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
mail: myemail
uid: myemail
sn: mylastname
cn: myfirstname mylastname
userPassword: secret

check ldif(5).

You can also investigate fetchmail as a way to pop the old mail and submit
it to the new server.
