To a non-C drive.

I did it with a new Claws install on a new machine through experimenting
and it worked. It's all in how you configure it
and telling it where you want the filesystem. Its the command to run it
this way. I have one that works but its been so long since I worked that
out I have forgotten how I did it. I need to relearn/reverse engineer what
I did before.
It is a matter of altering a config file somewhere then pointing to the
folder that contains it in the command string to run Claws (from C drive on
machine with external hard drive containing the Claws file system).

On the external drive this is the folder system used:
Drive E:
[Claws Mail]

[Claws Mail Config]


STRING-TO-RUN-CLAWS-IN-RUN-VIPSAVE.txt     1KB
which is:
e:\CLAWS Mail\claws-mail.exe --alternate-config-dir e:\Claws Mail Config
