Oh, sorry, yes, that will work fine. You can create identical
accounts in your domain for those users either manually or
export/import using CSVDE or LDIFDE, or even using ADMT (I think
would be easier because you can visually pick and choose) and it
will create identical aliases.

That's correct. If they have any mail in their mailboxes, once you've
created their identical accounts using their original aliases, you
can then use Exmerge to pull their mail over to the new accounts
prior to retiring the other mail server.

So you're saying that I should use ADMT to copy the users from the
other domain into mine and then ExMerge to get the mailboxes. Will
try that.
I hope that all makes sense.

It does. I think :)

I'll let you know how it went. I just finished installing 2 virtual
servers to run some tests.

I think ADMT is the easier way. Also, when you create them, if you don't
like what you see or forgot something during migrating/creating those users,
you can trash those new accounts and try it again! Exmerge will make it easy
for the mailboxes once the accounts are created.
