It depends on what kind of accounts you migrate and on your choice in 
the migration dialog (with respect to keeping the old disconnected IMAP 
cache; although this might have changed during the last Osnabrück 
meeting; I'm not sure; I remember that we discussed to remove the 
question to keep the cache because no user will be able to make an 
educated choice).

For local mail (e.g. downloaded via POP3) the old index files are thrown 
away after the migration. The data files (i.e. the mboxes or maildir 
directories) are re-used by the local mail resource.

For online IMAP the cache is thrown away (I think). Kevin?

For disconnected IMAP it depends. (Or maybe not anymore; see above.) 
Kevin?
