If all you are wanting to transfer is the mail (and not any other
personal data), then it may be as simple as auto-forwarding the mail with
a .forward file in each user's account.  In FreeBSD, just run "man
forward" for more info.  Or see the man page online at

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=forward&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+4.8-stable&format=html

And one advisory: the freebsd-newbies list is not for asking technical
questions.  Freebsd-questions is for questions.
