I recently added support for entering full paths in the Mailbox dialog
(which is displayed at start), but I didn't check if this still works.
OK, I know what weekends are for :)

The safest way is indeed to use %HOME% or the registry "HomeDir" to
point to the correct drive/directory and only use relative paths
in the dialogs.

Where Claws looks for Mail:
1. Registry: HKCU\Software\Sylpheed\HomeDir
2. Variable: %HOME% (if not in registry)
3. Installed directory (if none of the above is set).

HTH,
