thanks

I was waiting for the latest bugfix release to see if the local mailbox
spool problem was solved. Unfortunately it was not :( Local mails are
delivered to /var/mail/<username> and these are the settings used for
the local mail account in evo. However, evo looks for this mailbox file
at  ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/<some_strange_directory_name>
containing the following files: INBOX.ibex.index.data, INBOX.ibex.index,
INBOX.cmeta, folders.db

Removing these files and restarting evo does not help: evo complains
about: "Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync"
In the settings the local account is flagged as of type spool and for
Receiving Email the setting is: Standard Unix mbox spool file.
