can't see any big defect here, it can't reed the files from the specified
location -> uses internal defaults. can't save to the specifed location ->
uses internal defaults (overwrited the old files).

if remove the dependency for write_config_file() from
create_mail_save_dirs() we should do something like

    create_mail_save_dirs();
  
    if (created_rcdir) /* first start */
        write_config_file(local_config_file);

instead.
