I saw this "problem" when restoring a profile to a Windows XP client. The users
name changed from 'a' to 'b' and so did his home directory. When opening Mail,
all folders existed but without messages. Then i saw, that Mozilla handles the
"Local directory" as an absolute path (c:\documents and settings\a\blablabla).
It would be nice to be able to change it to %userhome%\blablala or even better
set this as the default! This should be a minor problem and make live easier
when changing computers, restoring profiles, etc.
