Sigh.  Just for those of you who thought about playing around with
this, do _not_ just make symlinks from your old mailboxes to
~/evolutions/local/<foo>/mbox.  I guess it was a pretty stupid idea to
begin with, but I lost a day's mail in the aftermath.  I don't quite
understand how (something zero'd out my mailboxes.  Could've been
mutt, procmail or evo), but something bad definitely happened. Stupid
part is I've done exactly the same thing before.

This isn't a complaint, mind..  I read the warning at startup.  Just a
warning to those in a similar situation.
