| A: | Yes, you can. In prefs.js, set: user_pref("mail.root.none", "/path/to/root/folder"); user_pref("mail.server.server1.directory", "/path/to/root/folder/server/user"); user_pref("mail.server.server2.directory", "/path/to/root/folder/local"); and any additional serverX you might have. Then just move the server and local folders from where they were before to their new location. |
