Re: [Evolution] (no subject)

I guess I should have been clearer. The Inbox/mbox was successfully
converted to the folders&files system that mh uses.  Problem (I believe)
is that Evolution's config did not get updated to use that type and is
still trying to use the mbox that was one file.  Anybody know which config
file and lines to start looking at?
