I've done this before. I had to change the POP server and I managed to
do it by changing the prefs.js file and the directory structure. The was
I did it then (about 3-4 months ago) was to change all places where
'pop.oldserver' was written to 'pop.newserver' in the prefs.js file. I
then changed the name of the folder in Mail directory from pop.oldserver
to pop.newserver. That worked for me.
Looking at the prefs.js file, I think you should be able to get away
with just changing the following line.
user_pref("mail.server.serverx.hostname", "pop.oldserver");
to
user_pref("mail.server.serverx.hostname", "pop.newserver");
- Pratik.
