Hi,

I have always been quite impressed with egroupware (www.egroupware.org). 
Another alternative is horde (www.horde.org) Both are mysql/php based and 
there are even packages of them for some distros.

I am pretty sure, some people will recommend zimbra, (www.zimbra.com) as it is 
very hip at the moment.

for moving the mailboxes you could see if the perl script imapsync 
http://directory.fsf.org/imapsync.html is usefull to you. You would need 
either an admin password (and a server that grants access to the admin to all 
mailboxes) or all passwords of the users (which you, off course, could get by 
asking them (in a webpage, for example)

good luck,
reinier
