I never saw a reply to this, so I'll take a stab.

I have copied the Maildir files (the actual emails) from folder to 
folder with no problems.  I don't know if this is the correct way to do 
it, but it seemed to work.  On my mailserver, I have a folder that I put 
false positive spam, and a cron job periodically runs all the files 
(which are the email messages) through the ham filter and moves them 
back into my inbox, and I haven't seen any problem with that.

With everything, just make a backup, and if it blows up you're not out 
of your email.
