I'm using Linux Mint 19 and have been backing up daily with BackInTime. On previous occasions when I have restored files claws-mail has re-opened just as I left it.

On this occasion it keeps presenting me with the first run wizard and ignores my existing rc files.

I'm guessing that there's a file which tells it that there is no pre-existing configuration, but don't know what that is. Can anyone help? I don't want to lose all my filters and rules!

I've resolved it. Although all my original config files were present I had to let the wizard run. I just accepted all the options it offered (even though these were not correct) and then when it completed the new (nonsense) mailbox and my originals were there. I deleted the nonsense mailbox and now everything is OK.
