  I hope I didn't come across too strong.  I was truly wondering if I
was missing something.
  However, even running the imap server on the same box shouldn't
matter.  If you are really accessing your folders via IMAP, it makes no
difference whether they are on your local box or some other box on your
network.  If you are only accessing those folders through IMAP, you
should never have a need to migrate your folders from one version of a
client to another, nor even from one client to another.
  If you're not accessing them via IMAP, they are...well...not IMAP
folders to begin with ;-).  Then, of course, you might need to do some
migrating.
  As an aside, IMAP is a great way to migrate folders if you have no
other way to convert folder formats of one client to another.  Just
create an IMAP account for yourself, create folders to match your local
folders, move (or copy to be safe) messages from local folders to IMAP
folders, all with your old client.  Then with your new client, access
your IMAP account and copy (or move) all your IMAP folder contents to
new local folders.
