[Evolution] Non-intuitive design POP/On this computer User Interface

[Chide <cg xs4all nl>]

And as a follow-up to my previous question, a feature request based on
it at the end of this post. It may save other users  quite some time if
they end up in the same "corner" of evolution as I did... 

(Note that I'm a fan of evolution, already been happily using it for
years, hence this is no critique, but a tip to make it even better ;-))

I must say that this is a quite confusing, and non-intuitive user-
interface design decision within evolution.

One would expect that switching on the POP account (in the Mail
Accounts preferences) itself should show it in the mail-client. But it
does not. I think it would be a more consistent design decision to, for
example, warn the user that he or she should also switch on "On this
computer" once he or she checks the box next to a POP account. Or even
switch it on automatically. 

After all, for what reason would someone check a POP box, and not want
to see it?
