It's just me, for now.

I've got a special problem here. Hopefully I've come to the right place.
I have recently switched from an Exchange server to an Open Directory / IMAP served mail system, and switched mail clients from Outlook to Thunderbird.
I've very happy with open source tech, and I really want to get this working basically the same way I had it before, from a work-flow perspective.
I had a folder-structure in Outlook, which consisted of folders and also sub-folders. For example, I had a folder marked Vendors, with sub-folders marked Newegg, Apple, TigerDirect, and so on.
How, now, can I import that folder structure so it's LIVE, on the imap server, so that the web-mail server reflects that same folder structure as I previously had. I've already run an Import > Mail > Outlook to get those emails, folders, and sub-folders backed-up locally at least, and I haven't disabled the Exchange server yet, in anticipation of needing to import the folders to the server.
So, how do I do this? Microsoft is pretty good about killing my dreams thus far. Any ideas?

I'm afraid that might not work, as:
"What this means is that you can move messeages from one IMAP server to another..."
is not what I need to do. I need to move my Exchange server messages to my new IMAP server. Exchange headers are different that straight-up IMAP, so it's not one-to-one.
It might be a start, though. I'll see if it does anything and I'll post back here with results.
Thanks, though.
Anybody?
This expert forum is failing lil' old me... not worth the $$$.
The tool above didn't work, transferring emails by hand didn't work, since I got invalid header errors. I need a tool that will fully convert the folder structure and the email structure into an IMAP-compatible open format.
I have literally thousands of emails I need to transfer, many of them have Exchange-native header formats that don't get parsed properly and come out the other end looking like a lot of XML.
I have folders nested in folders on the Exchange server, and while a local import gets those at least to my desktop, I want them back on my new server, intact, and with the emails legible.
Surely, I'm not the only professional moving TOWARD open source, from closed-property...
