If your path on linux is /home/fido for instance. Create all the paths in
FConfig as C:\fido\... . And set the environment variable as:

export FMAIL_REPLACE_DRIVE="/home"

In your scripts. Than "C:" in your config will be replaced with
"/home" and backslashes converted to slashes automatically.

Wilfred.
