See

The qtp-backup and qtp-restore scripts are part of the
qmailtoaster-plus package, which you can obtain at
http://qtp.qmailtoaster.com/. They can take care of the lion's share
of the migration, but you'll need to handle the user accounts in some
other fashion. I think there might be some script in the list archives
for mass adding users.
Please document your experience on the wiki page above if you can. It
could use a little improvement.
I did this a couple years back for a company, and I still have a couple
of the scripts I used.
You need to get a list of the users and their password in a text file,
but then can easily import them using something like this"
#!/bin/sh
N=0
cat $1 | while read LINE ; do
N=$((N+1))
/home/vpopmail/bin/vadduser $LINE
done
That's assuming you've al;ready created the domain(s) on the new server.
The mail store structure should be the same, and depending on how many
domains you have this may help:
#!/bin/sh
domain=$1
if [ -d /home/vpopmail/domains/$domain ] ; then
echo "Domain exists in /home/vpopmail/domains !"
sleep 5
# Change ownership to what QMT needs
chown -R vpopmail:vchkpw $domain
for v in $domain/*; do
# Copy the cur mail files to the destination
find $v/Maildir/cur/ -type f | while read file
do
#echo cp "$file" /home/vpopmail/domains/$v/Maildir/cur/
cp -p "$file" /home/vpopmail/domains/$v/Maildir/cur/
done
# Copy the new mail files to the destination
find $v/Maildir/new/ -type f | while read file
do
#echo cp "$file" /home/vpopmail/domains/$v/Maildir/new/
cp -p "$file" /home/vpopmail/domains/$v/Maildir/new/
done
done
fi
if [ -d /home/vpopmail/domains/0/$domain ] ; then
echo "Domain exists in /home/vpopmail/domains/0 !"
sleep 5
# Change ownership to what QMT needs
chown -R vpopmail:vchkpw $domain
for v in $domain/*; do
# Copy the cur mail files to the destination
find $v/Maildir/cur/ -type f | while read file
do
#echo cp "$file" /home/vpopmail/domains/0/$v/Maildir/cur/
cp -p "$file" /home/vpopmail/domains/0/$v/Maildir/cur/
done
# Copy the new mail files to the destination
find $v/Maildir/new/ -type f | while read file
do
#echo cp "$file" /home/vpopmail/domains/0/$v/Maildir/new/
cp -p "$file" /home/vpopmail/domains/0/$v/Maildir/new/
done
done

These are a few years old, but may get you on the right track.
