Re: [Evolution] No such folder error?

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj ximian com>]

Actually, the problem is that "mailstorage" is NOT a valid folder type.
It's purpose is for internal-use only however the Shell doesn't allow us
to "hide" that option from the users so the user is presented with a
choice to create that folder type.
