Hmm... strange problem - I've had the index rebuilding message, after doing
something similar to what you've done, but the indexes were simply rebuilt; I
didn't have to delete anything and don't recall have problems opening any of
the sub-folders under the top level 'Local Folders'.
As you've already deleted the *.index files then perhaps you should also
delete the *.index.ids & *.index.sorted files too.
Have you checked the ownership and permissions of all the files & folders in
your ~/Mail folder? If you've done everything i.e. backing up and any
copying under the same user then it shouldn't be an issue but as it's quite
an odd problem it needs to be checked.

The email, to which this is a reply, had been sitting there waiting to
be sent, and I clicked send a little too automatically just now. I
actually wrote it many hours ago and I have since tried to open KMail.
Although it is clearly finding the right folder, it is not opening. I
get the following error message:
----------------------------------------------------
Problem with mail indices - KMail
There is a problem with the mail index of the following folders, the
indices will now be regenerated.
This can happen because the index files are out of date, missing or
corrupted.
Contact your administrator if this happens frequently.
Some information, like status flags might get lost.

Since both Werner (on a previous occasion) and every reference I
followed up in Google said that indices could be removed and would
regenerate, I have been trying to delete them and get KMail to
regenerate them. I have used Werner's
rm -rf *.index
command - several times , for good measure. I have been through my
Debian, inbox, SouthWalesLUG and Shopping folders individually. I am
now going manually through everything. I know that there were index
files, but have not so far found a single one on my manual trawl.
This is ridiculous. So near and yet so far...
Since indices are clearly the problem, one way or another, and
everyone seems to agree that indices can be deleted and will then
regenerate, this _must_ be soluble.
Has any of you helpful people any idea what I could try next? (Apart
from finishing the very slow hand-trawl through.)

then
check to see where 'folders[$e]' is pointing.
