"cyrus doesn't know how to look in /var/vmail/ as the vmail user"

Neither does a dolphin know how to fly; that documentation is not about
Cyrus.

Try reconstructing the mailbox after you put message files back.

  sudo -u cyrus  /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/reconstruct -r -k -f user.fred

Paths may vary based upon distribution and packages.

Use the Cyrus documentation available @
<http://cyrusimap.org/docs/cyrus-imapd/> and/or take a look at the Cyrus
chapter in my `book` @
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/coils/files/WMOGAG.pdf/download>

Comments on documentation are appreciated.  Writing documentation is
hard - feedback helps; sometimes if you understand something your
explanation has holes only the less advanced reader can point out.
