is moving a message as simple as moving it from one users/user/Maildir/cur directory to another?

cur contains mails already fetched by a client (at least when using IMAP, emails are being moved from new to cur when the mailbox is opened, not sure with POP3, I don't use it). You probably want to move from new. Anyway, manually moving emails around might confuse the clients. The pseudonym redirection is a safer approach
C'est la fin du monde !!! :lol:

You'll need to chown the file as well.

yes, although you might want to move it to the "new" directory rather than the cur. You also might need to delete the indexes which are created in the top level, I would experiment with that.

I agree.

Those indexes are used by dovecot for imap access, and should be regenerated by dovecot when required. Not relevant in any case for pop3 mailboxes.
