Please be more specific.
Have you copied from one machine to another, and with the same rights ?
And you are sure that you copied to the proper directory (/home/e-smith/files/users/<user>/Maildir/cur) ?
 . . and are you sure that the owner of the Maildir's and mailfiles is the user in question ?
Greetings

Did you scp as "root" if so make sure that the emails in the user's mail directory are set to there name i.e

chown Joe.Joe *

then browse that directory and you should see now changed.
