if you didn't removed files, check out
https://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir

to get familiar with the Maildir format.

You had the mailboxes in:
maildir:/var/mail/vmail/%d/%n

hence, there should be "new" and "cur" directories of the INBOX and some 
files, like indexes. And subdirectories starting with ".", which contain 
"new" and "cur" directories.

If your mailboxes are located at maildir:~/Maildir now, the content of 
the "new" and "cur" directories belong into this subdirectory.
