we could keep a copy of a prefs.js and give it to each new account? but there are directory names in there. there's a setting for relative or absolute for prefs isn't there?

- Junk Mail Controls
- Trust Junk mail headers set by "SpamAssassin"
- Move incoming Mail determined to be junk to: "junk" on local folders
- Automatically delete junk messages older than 30 days.
- When I manually mark messages as junk "Move to the junk folder"

mail.imap.max_cached_connections - did we use this or not?
Sets the total number of IMAP server connections Messenger will hold open at a time, provided the server can support them. Caching connections improves the responsiveness of message folder access because the IMAP connections don't have to be closed and reopened. Each open Folder window uses one connection. One connection is always kept cached for the Inbox. The default is 10 connections. The potential range is from 1 , upward. The appropriate setting for a given intranet depends on the memory capacity of the machine hosting the Messaging Server, and the number of message folders users need to keep open. This preference is lockable, applies to Communicator 4.5 and later versions, and is available on all platforms.
