Let's try again shall we... I am trying to add a local account (ie
/var/mail) to evolution, which is what I did in the screenshots and
when I do this it creates a *new* subtree with the default name
<my-email-address> not as everyone claims -- "On My Computer".

I will ask again, how do I get evolution to add local mail to my "On
My Computer" subtree??
