+ <para>
+ By default, when loading a plugin, its full path is saved in
+ <filename>~/.claws-mail/clawsrc</filename>.
+ </para><para>
+ As most users have only one copy of Claws Mail installed and always
+ use the same installation method, this is not a problem.
+ </para><para>
+ However, if you have multiple copies of Claws Mail installed
+ and want to share the same configuration among them, this may not
+ work, particularly when using different versions of Claws Mail.
+ </para><para>
+ A second installed copy will try to load the plugins installed by
+ the first and, if the versions differ, the plugins will be rejected.
+ </para><para>
+ In order to avoid this problem you can manually edit the plugins
+ section in the <filename>clawsrc</filename> file, replacing the full
+ path with just the plugin file name of those you want to load
+ relative to the copy of Claws Mail being run.
+ </para><para>
+ In so doing, each copy of Claws Mail will try to load those plugins
+ from its own plugin directory, rather than a fixed location.
