Mine's setup for reading mbox style mail - and I point it to
/var/spool/mail/root - for the system stuff - and ain't got a prob at
all - as a matter of fact, had more troubles reading POP stuff way back
when I was using 1.0.8 (I'm on 1.2.2 now) - but it was "sweet as" for
doing the local mail stuff...

Are you certain you've setup the account properly in Evo? Because that's
going to impact your ability to read/view the mail...
