Sorry, about the reply I just sent, I noticed that you said it has a different
user name and in my case I've used the same user name. I just looked at my
~/.claws-mail/clawsrc file and saw an instance of an attached file that
referenced a location in /home/name/Documents/... 
Plus in the accountrc file it has /home/name/.signature for the mail accounts.
In addition, it looks like the folderlist.xml file has the pointer to the
#mh /Mail location.

I think I need another cup of tea.
