Hi,

of course I should have looked up the mailings list archive before
posting. Sorry.
I have it done now and found a workaround proposed
by  danw helixcode com

This option is not compiled into the Debian packages 0.5.1 however:

user host:~$: evolution --with-movemail=/path/to/movemail
Error on option --with-movemail=/path/to/movemail: unknown option.
Run 'evolution --help' to see a full list of available command line
options.
user host:~$:

I would suggest to include the option for the next preview.
