If upgrading kubuntu has destroyed files in your home directory than that is
some serious kubuntu breakage!

You should have all settings in ~/.claws-mail

If you were using an MH mailbox/pop account, the default location for mail is
~/Mail.

Have a look at those 2 locations, let us know how it goes and what else you
can tell us.

PS
perhaps consider a better distro?
