And I have several recent backups ;) The problem is; because Claws isn't the built in client; I can't selectivly restore just the email files. Because the "other" backup category also lumps in; for ex; my GPE files which have been updated since the backup, which the restore would then wipe out my current GPE files. > > I don't know if this will work, but I kind of vaguely recall having > something like it happen to me. > > * Make a backup, include everything. > * Try copying the claw files to your external card. > * Then delete them on the internal card, > * then (perhaps after uninstalling and reinstalling?) start Claws to > see if it works. > * If it works, then (shut down Claws) and save a copy of the new > working folder somewhere (not the same as the old folder -- in case > the next step messes things up). > * Copy the appropriate old files back into the working Claws folder. > If it's one folder that is corrupt, it might mess things up for > everything, so you might test one folder at a time until your sure it > works. > * Boot Claws and see if it reads your old files.

I've relegated myself to losing the emails, but I'd like to see if I can learn how to possibly retrieve them for the day when it's critical. > > Caveat, I think this worked to clear up a problem I had with Claws, > but can't be sure.
