Rename or configure IMAP attachments folder?

For the sake of my co-workers, who have little interest in the meaning of "IMAP", I have changed the home directory's name to "Mail Archive". Now I would like to change the name of the folder which, by default, is named "Imap Attachments".

How does one configure the name and location of this folder?

Where is the best place to read the basics about the terms used in these settings, e.g. spaces, store, company_name, and childname?

I found the file with the setting by using the following command from the installation folder and scanning the results for likely candidates:
grep -lR attachments *
(I'm sure that I could have refined the search term more, but it took less time today to scan results than to discover a better search.) I eventually found what I was looking for in the following file:
tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/repository.properties

The file, in and of itself, is fairly helpful in understanding how Alfresco is structured by default and how various properties manifest themselves in the interface. But if there is a better place to apply myself to study the structure, I am open to guidance. Thank you!
