One final question. The mail folders contain an initial header, the one with

Is it OK to just delete the folder and touch to create it again, or should
this header be preserved? (I haven't seen any adverse effects by just
starting with the clean file here).

It's ok to delete the folder and touc it. This "message" just contains the
state of the contents of the folder. Since you moved the contents around from
outside the UW-IMAP process, it's state information is invalid anyway. It will
be re-created the first time your clients add messages to the new "Sent
Messages" folder.
