I would be grateful if someone could advise where one enters the new config. I'm not sure if it's a text file or graphical. I not so up on technicalities these days as i don't work in IT but continue to use xubuntu for home use.

Apologies for the slow reply, I've been mostly reading emails on my<br>
mobile and it can't do a plain-text reply.<br>

Correct<br>
<br>

<br>
Ditto, both to fslint and "occasionally" - ie there are probably loads<br>
of things it does I don't know about!<br>
<br>

That's where I thought I might end up!<br>

Yes<br>

<br>
Yes.<br>
<br>
In theory contents and file size will match, although I have found<br>
that there are some discrepancies due to things like line endings -<br>
I'm guessing the restore has fixed some poor formatting issues in the<br>
backups.<br>
<br>
> What information can you extract about the email? Is the 2022/5/1<br>
> the date of the email, or the date of the backup?<br>
<br>
Date of the email. That and file size are all I have directly but I<br>
can obviously grep the files for anything else I might want (subject,<br>
sender, etc).<br>
<br>
<<Big snip>><br>
<br>
Where I ended up was to use:<br>
find dir1/ dir2/ -type f -name '*.eml' -printf '%h %s %f\n'<br>
.. which gives me all the files with file sizes, formatted as:<br>
dir1/2019/3/30 112874 169d0343152c5ad6.eml<br>
<br>
I then wrote a hacky PHP script to sort and filter this output<br>
removing any pairs of files with the same filesize from any date-named<br>
directory. It then listed the remaining files along with the Subject<br>
of the emails grep'd from the file, for manual processing.<br>
<br>
Incidentally I can recommend GYB[1] for archiving GMail mailboxes, and<br>
for restoring said backups later. It's a bit fiddly and often<br>
inflexible but it's done what I need to migrate emails from legacy<br>
free workspace accounts to free ones.<br>
<br>

It did, thank you.<br>
