It is possible, I've done it.
There were elements that didn't get transferred though. For example I had inkscape installed on the old server, and it didn't install correctly on the new one.

But what you'll want to do is simply two things.
1) rSync from old to new server everything but a couple of directories. You will need /var/vmail/, /home for sure
2) MYSQLDUMP ALL databases, then import them on the new server. (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9497869/export-and-import-all-mysql-databases-at-one-time)

Administrator here on forums can explain better.
Trying to help people :)

Will be a lot easier to do rsync / with exclude /proc /dev /sys.

“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat.
“I don’t much care where–” said Alice.
“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat.
