Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
I'm trying to add a "Local Delivery" account to Evolution so that emails
from /var/mail/my_user get delivered to my "On This Computer" inbox.
This was simple for earlier versions of Evolution, but for the version
shipped with Gutsy, one has to do:
- Preferences -> Accounts -> Add New Account
- In the wizard choose "Local Delivery"
- in the Path click and navigate to /var/mail
- then click on "Edit Path" icon on top and actually type /var/mail/my_user
because the user file is grayed out and if you choose the directory itself,
Evolution complaints
- after hitting Ok, Evolution throws the error "File exists" and cannot create
the file (which it shouldn't do)
- then you click "Cancel"
- then Ok in the dialog now showing /var/mail/my_user as the "source" for
receiving emails
And now you can receive emails...
This is really bizarre and it should be fixed.
