I never had a problem like that. I'd double check whether the files are
actually gone fro the harddrive or just don't show up in claws anymore.

Well slow and buggy Claws just managed to delete my entire Inbox
folder! Including emails going back quite a lot of years! (Which I
admit I should have moved a lot of to different folders, most of which
are set-up but I'm often lazy.) Didn't even put them in the Deleted
folder for recovery!!
Luckily Hotmail has a Restore Deleted function if you go via webmail
and I have managed to get a fair number of the important, recent ones
back but definitely still missing a fair few! So far it actually appears to be slower in letting you
browse while
loading than Thunderbird and I'm currently in the capital, with better
internet than I had before. Not yet managed to find a way to show my
own replies inline with the threaded view, although it gives you a
clickable symbol to let you know you have a reply (why not just show
it inline?) There are a fair number of Plugins installable via Apt
but no idea if any would add this functionality?? Yet to work out if
the keyboard shortcuts suit my methods...
Not tried the other suggestions yet.
And although I say buggy that might be an exagaration. Partially my
fault for trying to do things to some folders while it's still trying
to load other folder's contents I think. Once set up as I like and
with a bit of patience my end I don't think anything drastic like
that would happen again! ;)
Claws has a support mailinglist, maybe they can help you there.
I currently have only 16k emails in my largest folder and so far claws
is fast enough. If you have a lot more maybe something like notmuch
would work better. I used offlineimap + sup, and that worked reasonably
well. Maybe offlineimap would be for you, you'd have everything
available offline. sup is pretty much dead as far as I know and it
never got mature, so I'd go for notmuch + some frontend nowadays. Maybe
I'll switch myself at some point, but setting up roughly four different
programs can be a bit of a pain.
