Well I’m not sure which platform you’re migrating to but I wouldn’t be surprised if there is some automation tool to help (if self hosting). For example, Fastmail has a quick guide for transferring (including the pieces you mention): https://www.fastmail.help/hc/en-us/articles/360058752414-Mig...

Migrating to a self-hosted setup. Again, not a technical/know-how problem, it's a "problem" of time/priorities :)

Yes I understand it’s an issue with time, that’s why I’m suggesting automation of some sort. Hence why I didn’t drop a link to Cyrus IMAP docs.

Thanks for the recommendation, but even with automation it requires a bunch of work, probably most it will be testing and making sure it all works, so how to automate it isn't really why I'm putting it off.
