This isn't a SM question. It entirely depends on the underlying technology and might very well be different between your two hosting services. You need to determine if each of them uses maildirs or mailboxes -- the former will place all of your email into a directory, each mail in its own file... if they both used this paradigm, you might have better luck putting the pieces back together, although there might be some ugly file naming problems (I'm not familiar with that algorithm and how much it means to your mail server). The latter places all mail into one huge file... which may or may not be easy to merge... it all depends on getting those kinds of questions answered and what kind of access you can get to those facilities to make the merge happen. Find out the technologies behind each of their mail setups and post your question in a more appropriate place for a better response (or google it; someone must have done this before).
