This is where things go wrong. When I connect using a mail client, I get error messages "NO Cannot open message" (Squirrelmail) for all deleted messages, and only the ones I didn't delete originally are still shown correctly. Evolution doesn't show messages at all, and just says "Error while refreshing folder".AFAICS, the number of lines in courierimapuiddb matches the number of files in ~/Maildir/cur, so that part of restoring the Maildir structure seems to have worked. Yet obviously I have to do something else to restore the deleted messages -- and I can't use a backup of courierimapuiddb of course, since this backup doesn't reflect all the files backed up over time with rsync. So what am I doing wrong? Is there a special command to restore the Maildir structure with courimapuiddb and other files from a bunch of message files?
No, there is no special command. However, merely paraphrasing what you think happened, without showing the actual data, isn't really much to go on. At the bare minimum, you'll need to show the actual contents of your maildir, the list of files, and the contents of courierimapuiddb; as well as an IMAP session log. Merely running some mail client and describing what it shows is insufficient, you need to show the actual IMAP commands and the resulting replies, after telneting to port 143 and logging in, in order to demonstrate your problem.
