I finally got around to doing this :)
There are actually just two files that need to be modified - both in .claws-mail

clawsrc
accountrc

I found the simplest way was to just load the files into a text editor and do a
global replace:

/home/foo

to:

/home/bar

The names also appear in various backup and log files, but these can be ignored.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
