Xubuntu user. Live in UK Lincs. 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. I have had the same broadband for over 12 years and as rates have changed decided on a change.

In theory contents and file size will match, although I have found that there are some discrepancies due to things like line endings - I'm guessing the restore has fixed some poor formatting issues in the backups. > What information can you extract about the email?

That and file size are all I have directly but I can obviously grep the files for anything else I might want (subject, sender, etc). <<Big snip>> Where I ended up was to use: find dir1/ dir2/ -type f -name '*.eml' -printf '%h %s %f\n' .. which gives me all the files with file sizes, formatted as: dir1/2019/3/30 112874 169d0343152c5ad6.eml I then wrote a hacky PHP script to sort and filter this output removing any pairs of files with the same filesize from any date-named directory. It then listed the remaining files along with the Subject of the emails grep'd from the file, for manual processing. Incidentally I can recommend GYB[1] for archiving GMail mailboxes, and for restoring said backups later. It's a bit fiddly and often inflexible but it's done what I need to migrate emails from legacy free workspace accounts to free ones. > Hope that helps. It did, thank you.
