Just in case somebody need the same thing...

You can create links under ~/evolution/local/<your folder name> for accessing the mbox files in ~/Mail (or ~/mail).
1. Create a directory under ~/evolution/local; name it as someting to refer to your mbox file, eg: DebianUser.
2. Create a link in ~/evolution/local/DebianUser to the mbox file; ln -s ~/Mail/debian-user mbox.
3. Create a file ~/evolution/local/DebianUser/folder-metadata.xml, and the content is something like
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<efolder>
<type>mail</type>
<description>Debian folder</description>
</efolder>
Evolution will show the description under the Local Folder as Debian.

Then restart Evolution.

BTW, you can't do the same thing for your local Inbox (under the Local Folders), so you have to create an account as usual.
