If a user edits profile.ini such that the profile dir is not normalized (e.g., adding ./ in front of the profdir), then we start to have strange failures, e.g., moving multiple local messages). I believe the issue has to do with a mismatch between the db file path and the folder file path - one of them is normalized, so they don't match, and we use different db's. In any case, normalizing the directory when we read the pref fixes the issues. I don't know if this will help other situations. I know we've had issues with people who change the default directory having strange problems.
