Where does Mozilla put its mail?

[Stuart Biggerstaff]

I think you're right.  But it's actually better than that.  I don't know 
that much about Evolution, but I find that Mozilla allows the option of 
changing the path to its mailboxes, and I didn't find any way to do the 
same in KMail.  That means the mailboxes could live on a network share or 
something--maybe allowing them to be included in a backup of a server.  It 
also means you can look in Mozilla's preferences and see the actual default 
(or non-default if you've changed it) path used by the mailboxes.

The ability to do that with Eudora in Windows is yet another reason we use 
it instead of Outlook Express.  (That is, we used it instead of OE, even 
when OE seemed an equally safer option than Outlook.)  And the ability to 
do it in either Windows or Linux is an appealing feature of Mozilla mail.
