Best way to move large Maildir to another machine?

Hello all,

I have a Maildir folder which I want to move to another machine:
about 830M with 29000 messages.

Would just rsync'ing or scp'ing be OK?

I'm asking because I noticed that either procmail or getmail puts the
hostname in the file names, and I wondered if this would cause
problems at the other end or not when I've setup getmail+procmail on
it?

Renaming all the files is possible I guess, but would be a task.
