Do you want to move just one folder or multi mailboxes ?

If you have the credentials for that user, the easiest way to move a folder is as follows:

• Use a regular client like Thunderbird or Outlook
• Add an account for each mail server
• Create the folder in the account where you are moving to
• Simply move the mail from one account to the other
• Remove the folder in the account on the old mail server

If you want to move complete mailboxes (and for now I assume you have a *nix based mail server), you need to copy the mailboxes or the mailbox folders from one server to the other and set the rights straight. Often you need to add extra rights to even be able to read a mailbox you do not own ( use chmod to accomplish this ).

The copy action can be done with ftp or using nfs shares
