The headers are not essential for a migration, they can be reconstructed
 using a single 'dbmail-util -by' run.

The core tables you need for a migration are:
dbmail_users
dbmail_aliases
dbmail_mailboxes
dbmail_messages
dbmail_physmessage
dbmail_messageblks

It's the dbmail_messageblks table that gives problems when moving from
mysql to pgsql where it strands on encoding issues. If you succeed in
migrating above tables, you should be home free.

Yes. imapsync will migrate pretty much any imapserver to any imapserver.
