that's the exactly wrong thing to do. messages *must* be renamed while

first convert back to the native format. then use 'ls *,U=nnn' with the
complained about uids. find out which message is the moved one, and
manually strip the infix. rinse and repeat.

then you can either convert to the alternative format again, or find out
what exactly went wrong with the mu4e configuration.
