Well, there's nothing really tricky if you want to install the program<br>
on E:. Just pick the right drive or path during the install process.<br>
<br>
The data directory will by default be relative to you user data dir<br>
(which is commonly on C:), unless you use, as you already do,<br>
--alternate-config-dir.<br>
<br></blockquote><div>Thanks for your explanation. It works flawlessly with everything on e:\ and using the special command to run Claws.<br></div><div>I was a little curious how
e:\Claws Mail Config got created, whether Claws did it during install or if I created it manually. <br></div><div> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
