i think the trick is going to be that the domain/email hasn't changed,
just the server.  so previously i had user at mydomain.com hosted with a
friend.  now i've registered 'mydomain.com' through Google.  so the
email address is still user at mydomain.com even though we're using
Google services.  so it's not like i'm dumping one IMAP account to
another.  in effect, it's the same account, just through another
host/mail provider.
i'm still working on gaining access to my previous mail directories so
that i can try to get them into Thunderbird...
