I was asking which settings file contained the information of an account
associate with a folder.

I think I have discovered the answer to my question:

The information on which account is associated with which folder is in
folderlist.xml and is the Account: number in the file accountrc.

I was looking for the name of the account, not the number, and thus could
not find it. BTW, .xml files are strange to read ...

That only has relevance if you have more than one account. Which means,
of course, that Hiroyuki has done a lot of thinking about this!

That's Windows-specific. The information in Sylpheed has to be stored in
one of Sylpheed's files, since it works on Linux, too.
