Maildirs can't be rsynced IIRC.  You need to use a program that does it.

I would just copy over IMAP--select all messages from group A and copy
them to group B; repeat as needed.  That will preserve marks through
IMAP and DTRT in general.

I don't use dovecot so I don't know if there's an easier way, sorry.
