Only the mailboxes, I only discovered the control stuff later.

I discoverd that if I created the folders I had, then delete the stuff 
in /var/spool/imap, restore the old mailbox and run reconstruct, it 
picks up the folders with the mail in.  So that's what I'll have to do, 
but there were a *LOT* of folders.

The mailboxes.db file is a binary file.  What is it generated from, and 
what does the context look like?  This seems like my last option.

Thanks
