Moshe,
The same techniques can be used regardless of platforms.
Your problems fall into 2 categories, getting the username and password from
the old server for use in creating IMail accounts (adduser.exe and a text
file) and getting the email from the old host to the new. Unix and IMail use
techniques for the message store, so it might be as simple as transferring
the users mailbox file to the IMail machine and renaming it.
Sorry, I do not have direct experience with this, so cannot give details.
