[Evolution] Mailbox storage location

[Jared Warren <j-warren adventact com>]

Hi all -

I use Evo from a NIS account whose home directory is NFS mounted.  I
currently have about 200MB of mail (using mbox format on all folders,
with body indexing off).  

It's beginning to get painfully slow accessing many of my folders,
especially when moving messages around.

I've read on other posts about the other message formats, and think that
maildir may help this alot.

What I'd really like to do, however, is be able to specify a different
location (on my local box) for Evo to keep all its data, so I'm not
constantly dragging this stuff over the network (I only use Evo on this
one machine - no need to have it in the NFS exported home).

Is this possible?  If not, would maildir help my plight?

Thanks,
jared
