That does not seem to allow me to retrieve my mail from a POP server and
store it in Maildir format.  It only lets me point Evo at a pre-defined
maildir.  Apparently it expects some other program to deliver mail
there.

So I still have the problem where the speed of navigating a folder is a
function of how many messages are in it (the more mail, the slower it is
to switch messages), because Evo is just seek()ing on a HUGE file,
rather than opening a new file per message.
