Re: [Evolution] evolution mbox error



I've had the same problem.  As far as I can tell, evolution is trying to
create a lock file in the same directory that the mailbox file is in, so
if the mailbox file is in /var/mail, and you don't have permission to
write to /var/mail, you get that error.

As a quick fix, you can put a symbolic link from ~/evolution/my_mailbox
to the real mailbox file, and point evolution to the link file.  This
doesn't fix for the problem, of course, but it lets you work around it.

Hi,

I've tried to configure an account as a standard unix mailbox file, but
I'm getting following error:
'Could not create lock file for /var/mail/leonas'. Can anyone help me
out.

Thanks
