Restoring a KMail folder from a generic backup

[John M Cavallo]

I am using KMail 4.10.5 on a Linux system and have a regular backup of my 
entire home directory. I was manually cleaning up my KMail folders using 
'Archive Folder...' with the 'Delete folder and subfolders after completion' 
when I accidentally overwrote an archive of another folder. Is there a way of 
restoring the lost mail folder from the backup?
