Re: [Evolution] Problem with modified date of spool file

[Owen Berry <bitbucketev berrybunch net>]

That doesn't sound right - if the OS was somehow doing something strange
with the mtime/atime then none of the e-mail clients I have used in the
past would have worked properly ... pine, balsa and mutt.

I prefer not to use local delivery because then everything gets sucked
out of my spool file into the Evolution inbox. Not sure, but I think
that will cause problems of the same nature anyway.
