What is the purpose of the "On This Computer" mailbox?

It is the default location for pop and locally delivered email. It cannot be removed.The default location? Whenever I add any account the default has always been the e-mail address. But I've managed to get it to read my local mail to there by changing the default location -- My e-mail address -- to the "default" location -- "On This Computer". But it was in no way clear that I would be able to do that.
huh??? IMAP accounts will place a toplevel tree node in the folder-tree under which the folders will appear. The name is whatever you gave the account (by default it uses the email address) what do you mean you changed the default location?
I've noticed that evolution creates a "Junk" (virtual?) folder but I haven't asked evolution not to check for spam so why does it create that folder? Again can I get rid of it?It cannot be removed.That is... disappointing.
it doesn't create the folder, it's a virtual folder that doesn't actually exist on the server. -- Jeffrey Stedfast Evolution Hacker - Novell, Inc. fejj ximian com - www.novell.com
