I have a few GB of email locally for an account, and that address is now on a
new IMAP server.

What I want to happen is Mail to write all that email, exactly as it was, to
the new IMAP provider, including all the all sent mail, and the mail arranged
into different mailboxes.

I thought that changing the server details on the account in Mail would do the
trick, but I just ended up with a completely empty mail account (I got it back
quickly enough after resetting the server details).
