Yes there is! And I have several recent backups ;) The problem
is; because Claws isn't the built in client; I can't selectivly
restore just the email files. Because the "other" backup
category also lumps in; for ex; my GPE files which have been
updated since the backup, which the restore would then wipe out
my current GPE files.

Essentially that's what I did. I've relegated myself to losing
the emails, but I'd like to see if I can learn how to possibly
retrieve them for the day when it's critical.
