Claws Mail - how to locate Inbox on large SD card

Hello to all of you. I have a Nokia N800 on which I run Claws Mail. I would like to locate the Inbox on my 2GB SD card, which is set up as the Internal memory card. Is this possible, and if so, how ?

I should add, I have a smattering of Linux/Unix knowledge, can navigate the operating system OK, and have Xterm, gainroot etc... installed already. I've browsed the Claws Mail site and this one and so far haven't gained any more info - grateful for any tips you guys might have for me.

Thanks in advance.
Steve.

Code:

cd /home/user

cp -pr Mail /media/mmc2/Mail

rm -rf Mail

ln -s /media/mmc1/Mail .

Shutdown clawsmail before you do this!

(mmc1=external, mmc2=internal card)

Hi Rider.

Thanks for that very speedy response. I can understand what you've suggested, and it all makes perfect sense. Not sure I could have come up with it myself - down to the limits of my knowledge as to how Claws Mail is configured.

Really useful - thanks again.
Steve.
