You should remove the account that you used to look at the old inbox
folder.

Make sure you own the "Outbox" file and that you have write permission
for it.  Make sure of the same thing with the Desktop folder.  Do you
have the Outbox file open elsewhere?

The folder name in the left hand pane of Evolution for that account will
always be "Inbox", that name is nothing to do with the name of the file
- i.e. rename the file to 'abcdef' and it will still be called "Inbox"
on the folder listing.  Evolution's idea of an 'account' does not fit
very well with playing with a single mbox file.
