Something else is wrong.
At a Linux command line do
ls -l /home/len/.local/share/evolution/mail
There should be a listing of directories, one of which should be called
'local' and be owned by your user account ("len" by the looks of it) and
be writeable by you. This is the basic location of the Maildir
structure that makes up the "On This Computer" mail folders.
If it does exist, make sure it has a proper Maildir structure in it -
do
ls -la /home/len/.local/share/evolution/mail/local
you should see at least three directories ("cur", "new" and "tmp") plus
some other directories that start with a dot such as .Outbox and .Sent
Again they should all be owned and writeable by your account (and each
should also contain cur, new and tmp).
If they don't exist, then I don't know if restarting Evo from scratch
will re-create that structure - perhaps someone else knows.
