Why would you expect it to be in local_mbox? local_mbox is a copy of the old, unconverted local files from before the initial conversion. It's not used for anything. > > While deleting the mail folder fred, this message appeared in a red error > panel: > Error while Storing folder 'fred'. > Cannot open maildir directory path: > /home/jonrysh/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/.fred: No such file or > directory After you created the folder within Evolution under local, does the directory ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/.fred exist? What are its permissions and ownership? What are the permissions on the directory ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local ? What is the output of the command ls -la ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/ What sort of filesystem is your home directory on? > > The folder mackay was converted from the 2.26.x version to the 3.0.x version. > > While moving a message from mail folder "Sent" to mail folder "mackay", this > message appeared in a red error panel: > Error while Moving messages to > 'maildir:/home/jonrysh/.local/share/evolution/mail/local#mackay > Cannot transfer message to destination folder: No such file or > directory That doesn't look like a valid path, it should end in mail/local/.mackay The bottom line is that all the things you are talking about work fine for everyone else. One possibility is that you have corrupted binaries somewhere - you can test this by creating a new Linux account and setting up evolution on that - you don't need to connect it to a server or download any mail or convert anything. You should be able to do the operations you are talking about (like create folders etc.) without any problems on the pristine evolution. If you can't, then there is something seriously borked with your system.
