Here are my experiences from the entire migration process: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.dovecot/32706 (I didn't mention the seeming loss of tickmarks when browsing groups from the *Server* buffer, but that's something to be aware of for other Gnus users that plan to use imapsync. I.e. if you subscribe groups from the sync'd server the tick marks will be present, but if you just enter a group from a server visited in the *Server* buffer, they won't be present)
