There's also `claws-mail --help` and `man claws-mail`.

If you want your mail stored somewhere other than the default ~/Mail
directory, then create an MH mailbox where you want it.
Use '/File/Add mailbox/MH...' with the full path. This is explained on the
dialogue.

The default location for config files, etc., is ~/.claws-mail/, but this can
be changed by starting claws-mail with --alternate-config-dir [directory]
