Help on coping user

[ed-gentoo]

Hello, I've been working as an administrator and now need help. I made a user instead of root. I copied the root dir to the new user dir and changed the settings like here:

Now I start sylpheed-claws as the new user and the mail boxes aren't there. All the info of the /home/user/Mail is the same as in the /root/Mail. How do I get them in Sylpheed-Claws?

Also how do I get my mozilla bookmarks as my new user? (DONE)

Oh dear me!

I just solved it my self. There was a hidden .Sylpheed folder still in the /root directory. So I copied that too. Now it works.

Don't know how I found it though....
