You're looking for the wrong information. The 'from' address listed in
the mail log may not be anywhere in the message file.
The only thing that matters is the "id". First, search the log again.
You appear to be missing the courierd "started" line that reflects which
user/directory received the message. Starting at that directory, search
for files containing the message "id".
find . -type f -exec fgrep -l \

An IO error would have resulted in a delivery failure, yes. Filesystem
corruption that happened afterward would not, so it depends on what you
mean by "disk error".
Sam has previously given the advice that all of your "to" and "cc"
entries which refer to a Maildir should end in "/." like "./Maildir/."
as this universally and unambiguously refers to a directory and cannot
result in a message being delivered to an mbox file. Even if your
platform is not ambiguous about this, make a habit of using that format.
