Comment:

I'm trying to set up Mail 1.3.11 (under OS 10.3.9). My e-
mail account provider tells me I may need to set my root
mail folder to "mail/" so that the mail client doesn't show
other system files in the home directory.

Sure enough I do need to do this (I can see several system
folders in addition to a folder entitled "mail" that contains
all my emails. How do I set my root mail folder?????

Thanks for the help!

www.macosx.com was faster!!!! :)

"If the account is an IMAP account, I believe you can set
the IMAP Path Prefix in Mail's preferences.

Go into Mail's preferences, then highlight the problematic
account. Click the "Advanced" tab, and set the IMAP prefix
near the bottom."

Problem solved! Many thanks to "ElDiabloConCaca" for
that!
