Thanks, Werner! That's really helpful of you. I am itching to try
(the older data that I have has dimap, but nothing in it), but having,
as it appears, fried the clone, I shall leave accessing the
"corrupted" disk until I have a better (read safer) method available,
which will be in a few days' time.

So, alternatively, is there some way I could tidy
up the "corrupted" copy?
if you still have the folder containing your emails (mine is
~/.trinity/share/apps/kmail/dimap, might be somewhere else for you),
it should be ok to delete the (corrupted) index files:
cd <your email folder>
rm -rf *.index
kmail should be able to recreate the indices from there.
note: this applies if your mails are in a maildir-format structure,
mbox will need other procedure (not sure, which).
