Paul,

Thanks for this invaluable advice. The problem was simply as you describe, that
folders with the names that I was attempting to use, were already present in my
mail folders (with mail in them).

Using the right click / show new folders action recovered all these folder
names and the mail within them. Shuffling mail around and deleting unwanted
folder names brought eveything back to normal.

Another question does arise though.

There were quite a few (8?) folders existing which were not showing up in my
mail folder list view in claws. Some of these folders contained mail only a few
days old and alreday processed.

The question in my mind is how did claws "lose" these folders. I'm not aware of
anything that I did, or any machine malfunction that had occurred, that might
cause the folders to "disappear".

Given that there is a "show new folders" action, is this a known issue?

Thanks again for your help.
