Short & sweet: The password entries for your OLD system should import to
the new one without issue. The new system will already know how to use the
OLD password format, but when users change their passwords, the NEW ones
will be stored in the $1$ (MD5) format automatically.

Thank you very much. I did not know that it would figure out the hash
mechanism stored in the database, and act accordingly. So that answers
alot of questions, and makes the conversion very easy.
Additionally, the database formats were slightly different between the old
and new vpopmail, so I ended up just writing my own convert.. Also,
cheating a little by making my select statement return what looks like a
vuseradd commandline. So the accounts are there and working, next,
hopefully just a matter of changing DNS, and copying over any last minute
email that appears on the old box.
