Just reload it from your backup tape.

If you do not make backups, preferably daily, the time to start was just
before you changed your HDD.

A way that might work would be to install both HDDs in your machine, with
your new HDD as the primary drive (since the other, you say, will not
boot), and then copy from the old /var/spool/mail to the new one.

Then start making daily backups.
