Public bug reported: How to reproduce the problem:
1) Open up evolution 2) Create a new account (or edit an old one) 3) Set the "Server Type" in the "Receiving Mail" tab to "Maildir-format mail directories" 4) Try to select a path The problem here is that the dialog box is broken and wants you to select a regular file (not a directory). If you select a bogus regular file, then edit the gconf key and replace the bogus file with the actual maildir, everything works correctly. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Can't use maildir to retrieve mail in Evolution https://launchpad.net/bugs/76398 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
