Sorry to bug everyone on this again, I'm hoping the above got lost in
the clutter (and I realise everyone's busy ;)...  Evolution has
continued to run in this "read-only folders" state.

I'm really lost as to what's causing this.  I've been receiving e-mails
fine for the past while, I just haven't been able to create new folders,
etc. whenever I subscribe to a new mailing list.

I've tried having a look at all the files under ~/.evolution to see what
could possibly be causing this but haven't come up with anything
concrete.  The entire file structure appears to have the correct
attributes and all the config files look okay (admittedly to my noob
eyes ;)...

If worst comes to worse would purging evolution and then copying my mail
back in possibly help with this?

Thanks,
