    If you are using courier or dovecot with maildir as storage, you can just drop the mail files into the maildir (in cur/ or new/) and have them back.

    I'm not sure how to restore a folder (might need subscription flags etc.), so the easiest way is to re-create the folder with your mail client and then, on the server, copy the mail files into it.

    If you are using cyrus, things are a bit more interesting[tm]. I don't know all details, but AFAIK you should not do anything on the filesystem level with cyrus.
