This was possible in the not too distant past (maybe two years ago), but
is not longer possible.  I used evolution successfully with folders in
maildir instead of mbox form for at about a year, till the capability
was removed.  Does anyone know how difficult it would be to restore it?

The code for handling maildir folders doesn't seem to be in the current
source.  I downloaded the source for the current version, namely:
        evolution-2.22.3.1-1.fc9.src.rpm
but grepping for maildir, namely:
        find `ls | grep -v help` -type f | xargs fgrep -i maildir
didn't show anything interesting.

Any info would be helpful - jon
