You could use the mail client to migrate email. Set up a mail client
using the Exchange IMAP service, and connect to your new server also
using IMAP.

You could then drag and drop mail from server to server.

To be picky sendmail isn't an IMAP server.... you would need something
like Courier, Cyrus or UW-IMAP on your new system.

That method isn't very pretty or automated but depending on how many
users you have it could be handy.
