Transfer existing email to new postfix/dovecot server via POP3

Question

I have to build a new email server with dovecot/postfix on CentOS because an existing supplier is becoming too erratic with their billing. I can do that but I am worried for a small problem.

If I create a new server before I transfer the MX records and DNS, can I connect to the existing server via POP3 using the new server as a client and "download" all the email that way?

nevermind I found http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/Dsync – Mr Heelis Jul 13 '15 at 10:58 — Mr Heelis, Jul 13 '15 at 10:58

Nevermind, I found dsync tool from Dovecot wiki. As alternative, you can also use imapsync.
