Re: [Evolution] IMAP configuration with ~/mail

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj helixcode com>]

The reason it's trying to CREATE the folder is probably because it's not
finding it on the IMAP server. I don't know why this would be the case.
Could you export CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG=1 in your shell and re-run
Evolution and do the same thing and send us the debug printfs?

Jeff

(It's either CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG or CAMEL_DEBUG_VERBOSE - I can never
remember)
