Re: [Evolution] Using evolution with a lot of MBOX files/MH folders/maildir folders

[Not Zed <notzed ximian com>]

Just an update on this problem.  If you use maildir to store the files,
you can now setup a maildir 'storage' from the mail configuration
dialogue, and it shoudl automatically scan all folders and use them and
have them show up.

Actually i'm fairly sure I didn't get the directory scanning correct,
but once I know what it should work like I guess it should start working
:)

I've also added a 'spool' folder which is an mbox folder which is only
visited.  Only these don't show up so nicely in the gui, and you have to
configure each one individually, and are less efficient, etc etc, so you
probably dont want to use them in this case.
