I have a file backup and since that backup, new emails have been received. Also, not all of the emails were deleted - many folders weren't affected. Additionally I was able to restore a few of the deleted emails with ext4magic.

So now I have three sources:

1. MAIN (new dovecot) contains the emails in the folders that weren't
   deleted and the emails received after the incident.
2. BACKUP (of mail directory) contains all emails from last backup date
   (including those still in the folders that weren't deleted).
3. RECOVER (directory) contains deleted email files that were recovered.

How can I join these sources into MAIN,

 * without deleting any emails from MAIN (for example those that have
   been received today) and
 * with only reading and not writing into BACKUP and RECOVER?

Is there any more or less convenient way to achieve that?
If not, can I just dump all the files together and make dovecot recreate the indexes?

Will doveadm-import automatically detect if a message already exists or could I end up with duplicates? Or is it unnecessary to worry about that because of the unique filename each message has?
