I don't know.

TB!'s settings are stored either in the registry or in binary format in
the account folders. There has been a lot of negative commentary about
this, especially with respect to the use of the registry. Very recently
we were told by Max (one of the two TB! developers) that they'll be
moving config data away from the registry.
As to the other config data not being in readable, editable format?
No-one, including myself has really been having any usability problems
since all that configuration may be directly manipulated via the
TB! interface.

The only way to do this with TB! *alone* is to drag the message to the
outbox, edit it there and then move it back to the original folder. The
headers will however be changed when you do this.
Otherwise, you'll have to export the message, edit it and then import
it. The received time will be changed to the time of importation but the
headers will not be changed.

Are you speaking about folders here. If you are then, depress the alt
button while dragging and dropping. To make a folder, a sub-folder of
another then hold-down <CTRL><ALT> while dragging and dropping.

If you are referring to moving an entire account, then alt-dragging also
will move the account so that you can change to order of your various
accounts.
KS> 5. Flagging. I can't really figure what the little red flags in the
KS> overview folder window stands for, or what it is supposed to do.
The red flag is a non-specific marker, the significance of which is
solely up to each user. It's just there to mark the message. I use it to
mark important messages.

KS> inbox 0 (7) 1 (11)

KS> sotware 0 (16) 0 (19)

Firstly, the inner number columns reflect the tally of unread messages,
while the outer columns reflect the total message tally both read and
unread.
The numbers in brackets reflect the total tally of unread and read
messages in sub-folders if they exist.
So for the mailing lists folder you have:
0 unread messages but a total of 7 unread messages in it's sub-folders
0 total messages but a total of 10 message in it's sub-folders.
- From the folder structure you have shown there, I see no sub folders for
your 'inbox' folder, yet it has bracketed numbers. This implies that the
'Mailinglists' folder is in-fact a sub-folder of the Inbox
KS> My inbox contains 1 read message. Where does the (11) come

Isn't 'MailingLists' as subfolder of the inbox? That would clarify the
numbers in brackets.
