Ok - so a follow up question: what directory structure is evo looking for to identity nested folders? Or, put another way - can I have an maildir source pointed at the ~/evolution/local tree? On Thu, Nov 15, 2001 at 02:09:17PM -0500, NotZed wrote:
The best solution is: Have procmail use the 'maildir' folder format, and convert all of your folders to maildir format. Then setup a 'maildir' mail source in evolution and point it to the maildir directory. It will automagically and transparently share the same folders. The 'spool' mail source can be used similarly for 'mbox' file format folders, *however* _currently_ it does not scan multiple folders, it only works for a single file at a time. (although you could setup multiple folders this wayt, it is clumsy). But mbox files have other issues that make using maildir more attractive in this situation anyway.Hello. What is the proper way to access mail folders already available with evolution, without duplicating them? My computer is set up to receive mail (using fetchmail) from my ISP. The received messages are delivered by procmail. As I subscribe to many different mailing lists, procmail is configured to use many different mail folder, under ~/Mail. There are more than one hundred of them. I tried to import one mail folder in evolution, and what it has done is basicaly a copy of the mail folder under the ~/evolution directory. That is not the behaviour I want, as I will continue to use the mutt email client, at least for a while. Any clues?
