Dang, missed a / there. file:/// is correct like in the copy-n-paste hex
string.

Should have mentioned though, that this string is from my 1.3.92
version. Don't have 1.2.x handy right now. But I do not think, that was
subject to change.

You're welcome. I suppose, you have run 'killev' before changing that
string by hand?

btw: That hex blob actually is "Sent in Local Folders."

Actually, that works for me. Currently Evo 1.3.92, IIRC that worked for
1.2.x, too -- not sure though anymore. So someone please verify that on
1.2.x.

Receiving Mail
 Server Type: None
Defaults
 Sent folder: "sent" in <imap-account>

We'll see...
