My Maildirs were missing a tmp folder so Courier could not create lock files, sadly it would seem that all the metadata of which messages were read and which replies belong to what was lost in the data recovery :(
Presuming that a missing tmp folder was the only issue, this issue would have no effect on the read/unread status of each message, and what was in reply to what. All of that metadata is tracked elsewhere.
For future reference from what I understand each Maildir folder and child has 'new' 'cur' and 'tmp' folders.As well as 'courierimapkeywords/' 'courierimapsubscribed' 'courierimapuiddb'
courierimapuiddb and courierimapsubscribed exist only in a top level maildir. The other stuff exists in there and in every folder.
To some extent automatic creation of a ./tmp/ folder would seem to me to be logical instead of that being a fatal error, but I highly doubt that I have the full picture.
This happens automatically when one creates a new maildir using the maildirmake command.
