There's a nice tool called imapsync; available at freshmeat etc. I have used 
it to some extent and deem it a valuable tool. A big advantage is that you 
can copy imap flags. You will need some strange options for it, but you will 
find some hints at <http://wiki.kolab.org/index.php/Imapsync>. If you find it 
useful, please add your comments in the wiki.

This should also work, if followed by a reconstruct, of course.
