I am running Windows 8.1. The string in question does not exist in
folderlist.xml.
It would be nice if I could create a Unix symbolic link to the mail
filesystem
but even if Win powershell could do it I am not sure Claws would recognize
it, but maybe so,
I doubt this is the way to go about it. I have done it before on another
machine and it worked perfectly,
I just forgot how I did it but it was based on advice from this forum. I
will look at the other machine and see if I can see how I did it.
