I have done this, and (as a bonus) have tried selecting "Standard Unix mbox spool directory" with the directory location set to /var/spool/mail. All without success, though I only have an strace for "Local delivery". In the past I have had versions of evolution where the actual control files don't match what's in the GUI and have edited them by hand, but I haven't been able to find the location of these files for the current version. Does anyone know where they are?
