If I copy message files (from a command prompt) will dovecot get upset or confused? Do I need to delete index files or anything like that? I ask because I need to restore some messages from a backup, but not restore the entire maildir. I tried some the other day as a test, but the user is saying that they didn't appear.

Dovecot is supposed to cope just fine. See

I don't know about maildir (I'm using mbox), but I'd expect Dovecot to reindex whenever it "sees" the directory more recent than the index file.
Have you checked the creation dates of the maildir and of the corresponding index?

Cool. That's good to know. I got word back that it showed in our webmail so it appears to be the client they are using (Outlook of course).
