[Users] Crash recovery - rebuilding folders

[Bernd Plagge]

Hello,

some weeks ago the PC crashed; I had some backups but no backup
covering all data.

So, I checked the data structure to find out how and where to add the
old messages.

The tagsdb seems to describe the system structure (account, required
data fields, folders and sub folders) 

Then we have the ~/mdir/ structure
 e.g. ~/mdir/user at pc:~/mdir/ml/iac$ ls
3910  3926  3937  3954  3965  3976  3987  3999  4011  4022  4033  4044
4055  4066 3916  3927  3938  3955  3966  3977  3988  4000  4012  4023
4034  4045  4056  4067

where each number stands for an email.

I tried to add (old) number to some mailing list/mailbox; sometimes the
added mails would show in Claws - sometimes not.

I don't really have a clear understanding about how this works.
As the system has to give each incoming mail a number (and stores it
using this number) duplicate numbers are not acceptable ...
Maybe the system starts with one number and allocates then allocates
numbers one after the other....

Is there some information available about how I have to prepare the
older mails so that I can import them?
Or, does anybody have a suitable script?

That would help a lot!

Best regards,
Bernd
