My guess is that there are no long file names, and therefore the
simplest solution would be to;



1. Copy over /home/foo/.claws-mail/ to /home/bar/.claws-mail
2. Copy over /home/foo/Mail to /home/bar/Mail
3. Change any username specific entries in your new configuration 
(these entries are normally related to your isp account and probably
don't need changing)
4. depending on how you do the copy, you may have change ownership of
the transferred files.

If that doesn't work, just remove the .claws-mail and Mail directories
and look for a better answer
