Can the mail subfolder also be stored on the FAT32 partition?

A tip for getting better performance on FAT32 partition: Turn the 
Lazywriting OFF, it also have the benefit that if the system crashes or 
must be brutal-booted via the ctrl-alt-numlockx2, the chance are good 
that the FAT32 CHKDSK in OS/2 will work, thus avoiding to go into WinXP 
Safe Mode w/Command prompt and doing the CHKDSK from there, then booting 
back to WSeB again.
