I reported this problem in June but noone has managed / been persistant 
enough to find the cause of it. It is something that a number of people 
who 'use' gnustep applications regularly have experienced. It is very 
frustrating when an application as complex as GNUMail loses its 
settings, there was even a quite long and hard debated thread about 
having a defaults for each application but the thread just dissapeared 
and nothing was actually done. I think that correctly the emphasis was 
on correcting the problem before introducing new ones by changing it to 
multiple files.
