sounds like the ownerships got screwed up when you moved the files.
if you chown mail.username each mail file that will fix the problem.
you can use more or less to determine who 'owns' the BOGUS files, rename
and chown accordingly. You may have to merge some of them with more current
mail files.
Hope this helps.
Happened to me too :-)
