Yes, that seems to be the problem. I copied an empty "new" and "tmp" 
directory into each of the restored maildir directories, and recopied the 
restored kmailrc to ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc, and all the older 
structure was recognized again by kmail. It seems that my backup omitted 
the empty directories.
