Have been using this program for about 2 weeks. Crashed often, messages would not stay marked as read. Today after launching message about not able to connect to POP.. Hung, not responding, soft reset computer, upon rebooting and relaunching the same screen(s) appeared to enter name/info etc... Did, of course entering program the previous account wasn't visible. Navigated in win explorer to folder on C:>documents>user>Sylpheed-claws>mailboxes>previous(first)account and nothing is in any of the folders........
? ? ?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
1) How to move the MB folder off of C:
2) Is it possible to import other messages from other email clients such as Thunderbird? Went to that for a couple of days until this was resolved. And this probably won't work, but what about copying to a txt file and just naming it a number as I see they are in the folders. Would another file need to be modified as well to recognize it? Is there any way to get the mails back into claws without going the route of resending them to myself..
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Add a new MH folder (File -> Add mailbox -> MH... with the same name as before. It will not be overwritten, but Sylpheed-Claws will pick it up, scan its contents and make available to you again.
If you want to be totally sure, make a backup of the mailbox folder somewhere else on your hard disk.

Thanks that worked, now:

All right, the data has been found.
C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Application Data\mailbox mailbox@something.com
Now, how do I direct the program to that again..
Add a new MH folder (File -> Add mailbox -> MH... with the same name as before. It will not be overwritten, but Sylpheed-Claws will pick it up, scan its contents and make available to you again.
