To run rsync on windoze, you can install cygwin, and then rsync for
cygwin. This would only work with maildir mailboxes.
No telling what dovecot would do with that junk once it got into the
maildirs on QMT. You might still have a problem there.
I'd lean toward fetchmail. Fetchmail will retrieve messages via pop3 or
imap, and pass them on to qmail-smtpd for scanning and delivery. It's
really pretty easy to set up.
Here's a sample /root/.fetchmailrc (config) file:
[root@tacs-wan ~]# cat .fetchmailrc
# These are global options
set no bouncemail
set postmaster postmas...@mydomain.com
set syslog
# These are server/user options
poll remote.domain.com \
protocol pop3 \
timeout 120
username "myuser" there \
is "myu...@mydomain.com" here \
antispam 554 \
fetchall \
password "mypass" \
smtphost localhost \
ssl \
sslcertck
We should have a wiki page on using fetchmail, if we don't already. It's
really pretty versatile.

My old email is a windows based server called ModusMail by a company called

I can't seem to find and RFCs on the IMAP flags. Strange.
Thanks,

rsync would probably be simplest if your old server was using maildir
format. Good for doing preliminary runs too before cutting over, so
there's not much mail to migrate after the change.
Otherwise, I think I'd try fetchmail.
