Interesting.. I will remember that for next time ( I hope there's not a 
next time)

What I wound up doing was:

Disconnecting from the internet

then....

Nuking my .claws-mail folder ( with the zillions of rules I had in it ) 
*SNIFF* lol

Then.....

Creating a new folder in home called CLAWS
And then a sub folder called ChristophersMail

and then manually creating folders inside of ChristophersMail

Then I went back to the OLD storage folder and cut and paste the emails 
into /home/CLAWS/ChristophersMail and recreating the folders I needed 
that way I am NOT bringing over contaminated folders from the old 
storage account.

Then I opened claws and pointed Claws to ChristophersMail MH folders

Then I did rebuild folder tree.

So far its working.. Emails are showing up in the INBOX folder when I 
hit the check mail button.

*Fingers crossed*
