This MUST be done in near future.

Opera should not store any absolute path in mailbox. Currently, the "File"
entry of "mail/index.ini" is an absolute path. "accounts.ini" file has
some absolute paths too (some of them can't be relative, but some can).

I think Opera should use relative relative paths wherever is possible, and
use only absolute paths if the user forces.

The problem with paths will be very visible if I copy my profile to
another folder. Sometimes I may want to do that, sometimes I may need to
do that.

Opera actually modifies these paths depending on where the mailbox
resides. You can move it anywhere you like! No need to worry :)
