dovecot - Feb 2017 - Restoring a deleted imap folder from backup to user Maildir

Hi,

A user accidentally delete a  folder from their Maildir (probably while 
using Thunderbird). The folder was at Archives/Sent/2015 
(/.Archives.Sent.2015 in the Maildir format).

I attempted to copy the folder from a tar backup into the Maildir folder 
but the new folder does not show up in Thunderbird or in the Subscribe 
option.

I also copied the .Archives.Sent. folder as well. A "Sent" folder
shows
up after this in Thunderbird's Subscribe menu but not the 2015 subfolder.

Is there some other additional step(s) to undertake when moving Maildir 
folders around so they show up in Dovecot (or Thunderbird- though I did 
try deleting Thunderbird's local mail tmp folder).

Thanks!

Check out:

doveadm mailbox list -u <<user>>

If the folder does not show up, check out the server logs, access 
permissions, ...

If it's there, force Thunderbird to reload the folder structure by 
clicking on the triangle left of the folders or top most mailbox name.
