[Users] How to place mailboxes in hidden folder

[Chris Hirst]

This is really easy (when you know how :) )

With claws closed; 

Copy (or move/rename if you trust these instructions and make a JIC backup first) the existing mailbox folders in to the chosen 'hidden' location using your prefered 'weapon of choice' as file manager, (Mine is Thunar)

Start claws use File -> Add mailbox -> MH.. and type in or copy and paste the new path in to the 'location' dialogue.

Then once you have checked the messages are present and correct, remove the 'old location' mail boxes from claws and delete the folders on the drive.

You can of course remove them from claws first as the files will remain on the HD until you physically delete them.


Have fun.
