Most users that had mailboxes on the old server were already migrated as SVN users to the new server. For some users, the name of the SVN user is different to the name of the mailbox.
4 mailbox owners were not migrated because they didn't match the criteria defined in #454. To make the migration of the mailbox possible we can still create SVN users for them.

Old mailboxes reside under the user's home directory following the Maildir format. They can be just copied from the old server to the new one. The procedure is as follows:
- Create new folders under /srv/vmail/ in the new server for each user mail address. For instance, create: /srv/vmail/landauf.at.orxonox.net/Maildir/
- Copy the mailbox files&folders from the old server to the new one inside the newly created folder. For instance, one could use the *scp* tool.
- Remember to change the ownership of the copied folder:
chown -R vmail:vmail landauf.at.orxonox.net/Maildir

As I understand it, in the old server:
For the users that EMAIL account is different from the SVN account, we have 2 options when migrating:
Most probably, option 1 would break the migration of old mailboxes. So we go for option 2.
