So, anyway I did a test and copied an inbox off our existing mail store and copied them directly into a Maildir folder called oldmail (under the 'cur' sub-directory) and hey presto - my IMAP client simply recognised all the email and Courier created and updated a 'courierimapuiddb' file. I didn't need to rename the files or anything. I then copied the files and added :2,S on the end of the filenames and my IMAP client saw them all as read! For the Webmail store I copied the files again to a folder and then coverted the \r\n to \n and again it all worked with no file renaming etc. And Courier happily created a 'courierimapuiddb' file with the orginal file names etc.
So, I guess my question is - Are there any problems or issues we might face with copying files into a Maildir directory without the standard Maildir filename format?
No. The only issue will be that the relative order of messages in a folder may change, after the move.
