-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Actually one good thing about *nix apps is that they are very systematic about that: Most apps store their per user data in configfiles ~/.appnamerc or directories ~/.appname/ where ~ denotes the user's home directory. This is usually hardcoded. If you want to move the directory somewhere else, you can move the file/dir and then use symlinks. mv ~/.appname /some/where/else/ ln -s /some/where/else/.appname ~/ So, when you moved your ~/.claws-mail/ directory last time, you probably did something like that? To check that, do ls -lda ~/.claws-mail If it looks like drwxr-xr-x 10 29999 users 4096 2007-10-31 00:43 .claws-mail/ then it's still an ordinary directory in your home dir, if it looks like lrwxrwxrwx 9 root root 16 2007-08-30 17:17 .claws-mail -> /some/where/.claws-mail then it's a symlink already. BTW, these "dotfiles" are usually hidden from the user by "ls". To see them, use "ls -a". Hope that helps?
