To get mail from both into one and then remove duplicates i would do:

- get a copy of both accounts into local (but sep) maildirs
- move OldMaildir/cur/* to NewMaildir/cur/
- run remove_duplicates_from_maildir.pl hack that I made (attached)
- run offlineimap to sync the new messages to the new imapd
