The fact now is that mails are stored to separate directories/folders which are
named by the names of POP servers,for example,POP.163.com .And , if an account
is added after it is deleted ,the former directory is not used but a new one is
created with the name tagged a number such as POP.163-1.com. This is the logic.
So I have to change the directory  by the setting tool.
Here,I suggest  using Mail Accounts as names of the storage directories/folders.
I think this change will be convenient. 

And there are other logics. One is used by Outlook  which stores mails of
different accounts in  a single file.
