[Techtalk] Migrating mail servers

We're installing a new mail server soon and I was wondering what
procedure I should follow to move users and their mail from the old
server to the new server.  The old server is Debian and the new one will
be Gentoo, both running uw-imap.

Is it a matter of copying:
/etc/groups
/etc/passwd
/etc/shadow
/home/*
/var/mail/

Is there anything else to it?  Any caveats?
