I deleted all the folders using Nautilus, to start again. Used the same import 
feature, and this time it didn't crash. The import marked a lot of emails as 
'new' though. There seem to be additional folders.

Is there any method to clear/wipe the database, and then use what is in the 
folders now (looks okay) as input to the database. I'd prefer not to have that 
extra garbage in the db, from the failed import.

I tried ocmparing what has been imported, however the filenames are different. 
Is there any method to ensure all the emails have been imported ?
