Maybe I should restart this thread with the subject 
"how to tell Sylpheed where the mailboxes are" to get more attention?

As an example for this account the error message Sylpheed gave me is
"/home/<user>/uhel at gmx: chdir: No such file or directory"
which is correct because the mailbox resides in /home/<user>/Mail/uhel at gmx.

Mail has drwxr-xr-x and the mailboxes in ~/Mail also have drwxr-xr-x so the 
access rights shouldn't be a problem.
