Duplicate your old SME onto your new SME:

Using ssh & scp: http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,40692.msg188516.html#msg188516

Duplicate the user accounts from the old SME on the new SME:

Duplicate some or all mailboxes from the old SME to the new SME (after the user accounts exist on the new SME):
