this just changes the underlying format of the folder from mbox to Maildir, it doesn't do anything noticeable for the user. after you change that property, look at ~/evolution/local/Inbox/mbox it will now be a directory with cur, new, tmp dirs under it containing your mail. that's all that option does. > , and set it to > Maildir/ format. I also set that format generally under > Tools/Settings/Mail Accounts/Receiving to Maildir/ format style from the > original POP style. huh? that's not a global option to make folders into Maildir format if that's what you were thinking... that just creates a new account that reads Maildirs instead of POP. > Nothing works, yet if I bring up KMail and point it > to the same directory, all the messages appear.

Whatever it is, can someone help me fix this? create a Maildir account, then do View->Folder Tree and look for a bold node that has the account name you provided in the account editor. tada... you have a Maildir tree in your folder tree.
