If you have a symlink like that, then you're not using local delivery,
you're doing something which you shouldn't be ...

The way you were doing it is actually completely unsupported, and i'm
surprised you didn't lose mail or end up with a corrupted mailbox, as
there is no way for evolution to do proper locking on your spool file.

Nup, its just sorted alphabetically ...

About all you can use is the shortcuts bar (you can make it use small
icons), but thats feels clumsy to me.
