In Evolution, you should be able to create the IMAP folders, then mark
all messages in the old folder and drag them to the new folder (or
right-click and select "Copy to folder/Move to folder").  You just can't
drag the whole folder yet.

I believe dragging-and-dropping MOVEs the messages (deletes them from
the old location).  If you hold down Ctrl or Shift it will only copy. 
In any case, the moved old messages won't really be gone, just marked
for deletion (and you can undelete them).
