[Users] Claws mail files location for Windows?

[cassipedia at gmail.com]

Hi

 

I've been using Claws for around 8 years. Today when I started my Windows
version (on Win 11 pro) of Claws (ver 4.1.1), all of my emails are gone,
every single one in every single folder...

 

The index values were still there, for example when Claws started the inbox
total value says 13844 but when I clicked on the folder the value goes to 0
and there are no emails in the folder.

 

So I am trying to find the individual mail files to see what has gone wrong.
Is it a drive problem (Samsung 980 pro SSD around 3 months old) and the
files are gone because of a drive problem? If the files are still there then
is it a Claws problem? Do I have too many files in the inbox folder and this
wipes ALL folders? If I have too many files in the folder, how do I
move/delete some if Claws will not show them? Will a reinstall of Claws fix
the problem? Is there a configuration value I can change?

 

I know the tags are in users/name/AppData/Roaming/Claws-mail/tagsdb but I
don't know where the individual mail files are located.

 

Yes, I do have a complete drive backup from last month so if I know where
the individual files are I can restore them and the tags and that should
bring my emails back? But before I do that I'd like to look at where the
files were on the drive to see what might have gone wrong before I reload
the backup.

 

TIA for any help.

 

Regards

 

Allan

 

Ps - I've read the manual and hunted online but I found nothing that deals
with this problem and the manual doesn't really cover a windows install.
