this is what i thought, too, but i tried what you recommendend before,
to explicitly define the right folder, but no success.
the mozilla.mailing application keeps forgeting the definition of
the folder whenever i com back to it.
is this a result of the mailer to validate the folder first an
reset the definitions if it doesn't find the specified folder
or the required accessibility-rights?
