If you are going from one machine to another, the user can connect to 
both accounts and drag between them, but they have to rebuild the folder 
structure manually.

The Dovecot wiki mentions a plugin that will do a conversion when a user 
logs in.  http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Convert  That looks like it 
might be the handiest way but I haven't tried it and don't know how well 
it meshes with concurrent deliveries already being done in the new format.

http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat has other conversion tools.
