+ through the first basic steps of the setup. First a pop-up window will
+ show up and you will be asked to define the directory Sylpheed will use to
+ store your 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".</para>
