And don't forget /var/spool/mail and /etc/gshadow.
I would expect that all the current mail spools are in /var/spool/mail
as is the usual default.
To avoid losing mail, do a clean shutdown of sendmail (or whatever your
MTA is) and also shut down IMAP/POP before you move the directories.
There is absolutely no reason for you to lose any of your users's mail.
