I'd still use imapsync. It is the only thing out there I've found that  
does a good job, esp considering it is a real sync (you can rerun to  
sync anything new). Use ruby (or whatever) to generate a script that  
invokes all the imapsync's you need. It should be a fairly simple  
matter to iterate through /etc/passwd's users and generate an imapsync  
for all of them (not for each and every folder). Here is what I used a  
while back:

#!/bin/bash

user1=$1; shift
user2=$1; shift

imapsync --host1 localhost --user1 $user1 --host2 xxx --user2 $user2 -- 
ssl1 --ssl2

I didn't have 250 users, otherwise I'd have written what I suggest  
above and given it to you. :)
