I wish to move from Claws-Mail to Evo. My Claws is setup to
make use of maildir format of storing mail.

I would like to use Evo (pop) and have it store in the same
format. I understand that the default is mbox - can I change
this? If so, please let me know.

  Hi,
you cannot change it, unfortunately. You can create a maildir
account and a message filter which will move all your incoming
mails to that account, as a workaround.

You can also serve up your existing maildir store using dovecot or
similar. Fetchmail or offlineimap or similar to get your new mail.

i use both:
fetchmail + procmail 
and
pop account with filter to move to maildir

Both work very well for me.

Thanks everyone. While some didn't understand what I meant (my fault
for not articulating) others did but gave indirect answers.

The goal (for redundancy and clarity) was to move away from Claws
(that happens to store my retrieved pop mail in maildir format) to
Evolution (providing that it did the same, retrieve my pop mail and
store it in maildir format) without the use of other programs (case in
point fetchmail, procmail and or what have you).

It's looking more and more like this is not a supported (as far as I
can tell) feature and may not be a wanted one.

That being said, I do want to thank all that replied. It just seems at
this point in time, Evolution still is not the app for me to use.

For now, Claws and Sunbird will have to do (mind you, both are great
products, I would have liked to use the suite that comes with Evo).
