[Users] Change mail store folder (to another partition/drive)

[harro at altern.org]

Good afternoon Inigo,

thank you for your reply!

The folderlist.xml only refers to folders inside the Claws mail programme,
it does not actually (seem to) refer to real folders on the harddisk.

It shows virtual folders without a reference to the system drive:  (e.g.
path="Drafts").

Or do you suggest that I could change this relative path to an absolute
path like:  path="D:\mailfolder\Drafts" ?

Somewhere Claws has defined that the mail folder is within
/%users%/roaming/Claws Mail/ but where?

Kind regards,
Rho


An example from the folderlist.xml is:

    <folder type="imap" sort="0" collapsed="0" account_id="1" name="01.
mail account test">
        <folderitem last_change="1380700972" last_sync="0" uidnext="280"
last_seen="0" order="0" watched="0" ignore="0" locked="0"
forwarded="0" replied="0" total="1" marked="0" unreadmarked="0"
unread="0" new="0" mtime="1138527756" sort_type="ascending"
sort_key="date" hidereadthreads="0" hidedelmsgs="0"
hidereadmsgs="0" threaded="1" thread_collapsed="0" collapsed="0"
path="Drafts" name="Drafts" type="draft" />
