Ah, I assumed POP because that's the most common access protocol. You
didn't mention the access method so I didn't focus on IMAP. Dragging
e-mails from an IMAP message store to another one (i.e., between the
IMAP accounts as shown in the local e-mail client) does make it possible
to get the exact e-mails transferred between the old and new accounts.
Once the e-mails have been dragged to the new IMAP account, they might
be up on the server after the next mail sync between the local e-mail
client and the IMAP server. You gave absolutely no specifics about YOUR
particular requirements for e-mail.

If your users are using IMAP access for the old accounts, and with new
IMAP accounts assigned to them for the new accounts, why can't each one
of them do the drag from the old IMAP message store to the new IMAP
message store inside their e-mail client? It's only a one-time pain to
them. They may not even want all their old IMAP store blended and mixed
in with their new IMAP store and instead want to keep them separate. If
all these 25+ accounts are yours then figure on spending a couple
evenings enduring the pain and get it over with. The dragging between
IMAP stores in a local e-mail client is only needed if you want to merge
the accounts.

Google has a means of transferring from old IMAP accounts to new Gmail
accounts. You haven't mention your old and new e-mail providers. See
http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=61369.

I saw mention of imapsync but it only described running it on linux
(http://www.debiantutorials.net/transfer-mailboxes-between-imap-servers-with-imapsync/).
However http://freshmeat.net/projects/imapsync/ mentions Windows as a
supported platform. According to its readme file, it is written using
Perl so you could install ActiveState's Perl on Windows
(http://www.linux-france.org/prj/imapsync/README). You could then write
a batch file (.bat or .cmd) with a repeated set of imapsync commands to
execute it on each user's mailboxes (old and new), or write a loop in
the batch file to redo the same command but input the accounts from a
file where you listed them.

As much as Bush, and Reagan for that matter - Just different
beneficiaries. It's sad how few people grasp that though, isn't it?

North American presidents are way over to the left compared
with our South American "communists" like Chavez and Lula.

Short and sweet... don't wanna start a political debate in this group.
You couldn't be more wrong. People benefitting under fiscally conservative
Presidents are people that work, albeit not very hard, but they DO work. Under socialistic liberal
Presidents, the people benefitting tend to be on the non-working side. That might be all right for
you, but for the working middle class, it's not... and I'm talking people of all walks of life.
People of ALL colors don't like handouts... trust me... I've spoken to all about it.
