accessing archived emails from old CPanel server

A server with WHM and CPanel was being migrated, and I got the query  
Can you tell me how to copy the old emails from the old server before they shut it down?

Inside the cpbackups folder, there are the backups of each site. So, if you want the emails from sitename site for example, you can open the folder

/backup/cpbackup/weekly/sitename/homedir/mail

The archived emails will be in the archive subfolder. They are likely to be in the maildir format - 

Wikipedia has a list of e-mail readers that can directly read e-mail in that format -
