I did some more experimenting with Evolution, and found that if I make a folder and then put the three folders in it (tmp, cur, new), that Evolution will work with it. I guess Evolution just isn't smart enough to do that itself. So it's all working now (I just have to make folders manually), except for a weird ".#evolution" folder that Evolution creates, and trying to get Evolution to put sent messages in a "Sent" folder in ~/.Maildir; instead it keeps them in its own ~/.evolution. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
