For Linux Claws 3.12.0.r43.g2780845 it exists.

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ grep "folder type=" .claws-mail/folderlist.xml
    <folder type="mh" path="Claws Mail" sort="0" collapsed="0" name="Claws Mail">

I share my POP accounts from an Arch Linux install, with an Ubuntu Linux
install, by just creating links. Linking to an external drive should work
for Windows, but I don't know what folder or folders to link when using Windows.
