Followup-For: Bug #754627
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Creating account in Evolution, specifying the local Maildir.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
Just created new account in Evolution, specified the Maildir folder.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Evolution started renaming files, and totally destroyed the Maildir
folder. There were maybe 12000 other Maildir folders inside. I can
rename them back, however, it is now total mess. I have to make a script
to rename these files properly back or use renamer batch.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
EVOLUTION SHOULD SIMPLY READ MAILDIR FOLDERS. Not rename and move so
many folders without user's consent. THIS PACKAGE SHALL BE REMOVED
TOTALLY FROM DEBIAN. I have never seen something weird like this.
