Re: [Evolution] import of Netscape mail folders? ev0 0.11.99



OK, makes sense to me :)  I hadn't even tried to deduce a logical
reason... and when the other fellow expressed his misunderstanding, I
just chimed in.

Why does Evo need the "subfolders" directory?
evolution/local/folder1/folder2/mbox should be enough.

It's to guarantee that any folder can contain both messages and
subfolders.

Eg, what if you want to create a subfolder of Inbox called "mbox"? You
can't just call it ~/evolution/local/Inbox/mbox, because that's the name
of Inbox's mbox file... so it's ~/evolution/local/Inbox/subfolders/mbox/
