So since local/Inbox is file and not a directory that's why you are
having a problem.  i.e. that's why you get the error message:

 Error storing '~/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox/OpenSuSe (mbox)': Summary
 and folder mismatch, even after a sync

In your mail folder tree in the Evolution gui, do you have a folder
called 'OpenSuSe' hanging of the Inbox?  If not, where is the folder
called 'OpenSuSe'?

One other thing, you said in an earlier message: "but once I go to the
OpenSuSe account" - what do you mean by that?

No idea what zypper is ... quick google ... ah OK, it's a command line
package manager for RPM, aka a yum clone. Did you do the full upgrade to
OpenSUSE 11.2 using this, or was it after an update to 11.2?
