Hi Ken,

I believe that ~/.elmo is primarily a cache. However it also stores
flags for some folder formats that do not support some other storage
mechanism. For example, removing your ~/.elmo directory would remove
read flags on NNTP messages. It also contains the queue for
disconnected operation and sendlog.

It might be possible to only remove the ~/.elmo/cache directory. You
can also move ~/.elmo to ~/.elmo.old and reload WL to see the effect.

best, Erik
