One has to be careful. For example, Kmail (from KDE) uses .kde to store all
the mail. If some one deletes the .kde directory thinking that it is just a
bunch of rc files they would be in for a nice surprise.

Same goes for .sylpheed .sylpheed-claws and probably other mail clients.

.claws-mail (what it is called in testing) actually only contains the
news messages and configuration files since it's possible to save
your "real" emails somewhere else.

Therefore, I wouldn't say that the same goes for Claws-Mail, too.
