ImapSync is a great tool, I've migrated 8 Exch servers to Scalix with it
and it works fine. The problems I have had in the past were down to the
odd-ball Exchange I was pulling from, and not the new system I was
moving too.

Here are a few pointers:

Code to fix the broken sender/X-sender header information in Exchange:
--regexmess s/\\bSender:/X-Sender:/

To use a different folder name:
--regextrans2 's/INBOX.Sent(.*)/Sent\ Items$1/'

Code to exclude any folders you don't need, or can't move with imap:
--exclude '^(Calendar|Contacts)$'
