Recovering Mails after OS Crash - Exim Mailserver


My mail server Fedora 4 at my workplace crashed. It had been installed by the previuos IT techie and was running exim.
I am OK on postfix and sendmail but green on Exim.
Using a Centos live CD I can go the /var/spool/exim/ directories and copy all the user folders to a different machine. I can also pretty copy all the files in /etc to a network location.
In the meantime I have migrated the users to a server running postfix .

How can I recover those mails that were in Exim? Some users only use webmail and they need the old mails stored in the /vars/spool/exim subfoklders?

Urgently help
