right, this is the problem :-(

the way local-folder works is that it sets the root path to "/" and the
folder name is "home/fejj/evolution/local/Inbox"

the new mbox code has to convert folder_name such that each directory
gets transformed from "foo/" into "foo.sbd/" so that people can
transparently have subdirectories of mbox folders.

the way to make it work with the new code is to set the root path to the
path of the folder (eg "/home/fejj/evolution/local/Inbox") and the
folder_name to "mbox", however this can't really work in mail-local.c
because all the folders share the same CamelStore which is where the
root path must be set.
