I need to transfer about 20 addon domains and their email accounts to a new host, where I already have some sites, mail accounts, databases etc..
For some reason, I think that my best bet is to transfer the mail accounts manually, like copying etc and mail folders from old to new host via FTP. Now, while this works very well, I have one problem: all transferred mails again have unread flag (like there were never opened).
Now my question is: Is there a way to move mail accounts while in same way preserve read/unread flags?
Thanks!

If you open a mail client and add both old and new accounts side by side (with IMAP) you can drag the mails from one to the other - it's a pain but I've had to do it that way in the past.
Other that that you could take the email on to Google Apps and use their selection of migration tools to accomplish the task.
I was unable to find out where the read/unread flags are stored, but the unix program imapsync seems to be designed to migrate email accounts from one imap server to another while preserving message attributes/states.
