[Users] How to place mailboxes in hidden folder

[Michael]

@Chris, 

I'm sorry if i'm putting something up again which was more or less 'solved', but i'd like to know the reason why OP Chris wanted to put claws maildir into a new location, in the first place ?

And i wonder if the original question about dotted folder might be related to some discussion that i started before, about keeping mail 'confident' even in a more or less 'compromised' desktop.
