I see that mail-client/claws-mail-3.7.9-r1 defaults to the following mailbox directory structure;

/home/[user]/[mailbox_name]

can I configure it so that I can use the following mailbox directory structure?

/home/[user]/[directory_of_my_choosing]/[mailbox_name]

Thanks..

1 - close claws-mail.
2 - tweak the following value :
Quote:

$ head -n 3 ~/.claws-mail/folderlist.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<folderlist>
<folder type="mh" path="directory_of_my_choosing (relative path from ~)" sort="3" collapsed="1" name="mailbox_name">

3 - move the mailbox accordingly to your choice.
4 - fire up claws-mail.

thanks netfab..

I was actually worried it was something documented somewhere and I simply couldn't find the appropriate hidden menu choice, no matter how long I searched/googled.. :wink:
