Indeed.   I  missed  it because in my folderlist.xml
its name is empty, but I was able to change it:

  1.  close Sylpheed,
  2.  modify folderlist.xml, and
  3.  restart Sylpheed.

In Windows,  the  Sylpheed  configuration  directory
seems to be located at:

  %homedrive%%homepath%\Application Data\Sylpheed

which  is  overriden  by  the configdir parameter in
sylpheed.ini, which in  turn  yields  to  Sylpheed's
--configdir commandline parameter.  I like to speci-
fy the latter in the label properies.
