At the moment, the "Local Directory" setting in Mail Accounts is given as an absolute path name. One should be able to give this as a path name relative to the user's profile folder. There would be two advantages: a) If the profile folder is moved, the mail accounts would not be disabled (as it happens at the moment). One would'nt need to re-set the local directories for each account by hand. b) At this time, I use the *same* Mozilla profile folder on Windows and Linux (-> Windows partition mounted as a Linux folder). So I have my settings and bookmarks available wherever I work (by the way, it's cool) - but unfortunately not my mail accounts. Linux does'nt understand "e:\...", und Windows does'nt understand "/myfiles/...". So if one would be able to choose whether to use absolute or relative path names, things like this would be a lot easier. Thanx!
