But if we return to the original poster's question:

it appears to me what you're trying to do is to migrate a user's mail from an old installation (Zimbra or whatever else) to a shiny new Zimbra box. None of what is discussed above will help you in this regard. . .

By far the simplest way to do this would be to use an external IMAP client such as Thunderbird or Outlook Express (OE has issues though in my experience). You can log onto multiple email accounts and have separate folders for each, then merely click and drag your messages from the folders on your old account, to folders on your new account. It's not lightning fast, but it does work.
