And to engage in the tacky practice of following up to ones own
message... the secret (such as it is) is to symlink /home/user/Maildir
to /home/user/inbox, and tell Evo that your maildir is in /home/user/
instead. At which point it DOES work, but there's some untidy stuff
there in the form of a redundant symlink and an inbox.ev-summary file.
I'm happy though, since it DOES work and I'm willing to wait for a
"prettier" implementation.

Good job, folks!
