Having installed sylpheed I have just copied all my claws mail and claws configs to the sylpheed equivalents and everything worked fine. I now have a complete copy of my claws mail store on sylpheed in a VM on my desktop.
So - I conclude the the same would work in reverse. Just install claws and then copy across the sylpheed store and config and Bob's your parent's sibling.
Thanks for the idea of a VM.
I did as you did and created a Sylpheed account which was a mirror of the 'proper' account here. I also created a Claws account and copied over all the mail. I could then play about with settings safe in the knowledge that I wasn't going to screw anything up.
But it all went well so I did the same thing on here and it's all working.
