Subject: evolution: Can't select file as path for local delivery
Date: Sat, 06 Oct 2007 14:56:20 +0200
Package: evolution
Version: 2.12.0-2
Severity: normal

I want evolution to move e-mail from my spool file at /var/mail/matijs to
the folder Inbox in the On This Computer section.  However, after selecting
the server type Local Delivery, in the path selection I can only select a
directory.

Selecting /var/mail instead of the desired file of course leads
to all kinds of error messages, such as that it cannot access the other
spool files there, or that it cannot lock /var/mail/matijs.

The option Standard Unix mbox spool file does allow selecting a file, but
doesn't move mal to On This Computer/Inbox.
