   If your path on linux is /home/fido for instance. Create all the paths in   
   FConfig as C:\fido\... . And set the environment variable as:   
      
   export FMAIL_REPLACE_DRIVE="/home"   
      
   In your scripts. Than "C:" in your config will be replaced with "/home" and   
   backslashes converted to slashes automatically.
