Hi guys, thank you for great product! 

I found an UI issue that is really annoying. I remember that I spent several
hours on my first installation to figure out how to add accounts and today I
spend almost hour just to remember how to do so again, when I need to add new
account. 

The problem is simple. It is not clear that the field in [File -> Add Mailbox
-> MH] dialogue is a relative path. It would be great to 

a) use clearly written note, that this is a path to directory of the mail
account
b) make it absolute or add ~/ prefix in the begging by default. 

I believe that this little detail will safe a lot of time for other users. 
And honestly that was most significant non-intuitive bottleneck in UI of the
client.  

thank you!
