[Evolution] using maildir format

[Dr Mark H Phillips <mark austrics com au>]

Hi,

I am trying to work out how to make evolution (2.24.2)
use the maildir format by default instead of mbox.  I
can't seem to tell it to do this.

Does evolution support maildir?  I thought it did.

The reason I am trying to move to maildir is that I have
a large number of stored emails (which I don't want
to delete) and mbox seems not to handle this situation
well.  My understanding is that maildir handles this
much better.

People's thoughts?

Thanks,

Mark.
