What's the best way to move a mailbox?

That should in theory and most likely practice work just fine. If there is a lot of mail... it'll take a while. I drag mail 'tween my gregfolkert.net and my gmail account all the time. Straight IMAP to Straight IMAP works better as Google has to "tag" the messages as they are put into an IMAP folder. Works like a charm, as long as you are using IMAP.
