  Thanks for the prompt reply.
Both folders are links to folders in Dropbox (which means anything deleted is recoverable), but I can't seen anything  that looks wrong. There's nothing wrong with the mail so any problem would have to be in ~/.claws-mail. Which files should I be looking for in there?
(One, though not the only, reason I use Ubuntu is that it's the only distro Dropbox supports!)

John

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.

with regards

Paul

PS
perhaps consider a better distro?
