I have users with large mailboxes

They need a forward (/home/$LOGIN/.forward)
How can I re-process the stored e-mail such a way that it is forwarded
to their new e-mail address ?
I did it already with sendmail or procmail but I don't find out how
anymore.

just mail them their complete mbox as attachment

More seriously, you might want to look at "formail" and concoct sth
with it.
Also, I found a variant using mutt:
$ mutt -f /var/spool/mail/yourmailbox
T # tag all mails in mailbox
; # apply operation to all tagged mail
b new-address # bounce/redirect mail to the new address
