[Dovecot] Problem copying e-mails to IMAP - Dovecot 2.1.2

I have a situation where I need to migrate e-mails from Outlook 2011 (Mac)
to Apple Mail. Having looked at all options, I have resorted to the,
perhaps, most difficult way: Create folders on the IMAP server, copy
e-mails into them from Outlook, connect Apple Mail and do the reverse.
However, I have hit a wall.

I am running Dovecot 2.1.2 on FreeBSD, with mdbox storage.

In my first attempt, I have 1792 messages in the "Sent Items" folder for
Outlook. I have tried (3 times) to copy the messages to the IMAP/Sent Items
folder, but the process dies at some point. When that happens, Outlook pops
a screen saying "IMAP session state is inconsistent, please relogin".
