+messages and folders. This directory will be created under
+your home directory (or under C:\windows\Application Data\Sylpheed
+on windows). The default name for this directory is "Mail".</p>
+<p>Then the account preferences window shows up. Based on
+your configuration (local UNIX mailbox or POP account),
+read one of the following sections for the next steps
+of the configuration.</p>
