It seems that I might be suffering from the same problem. After upgrading to Ubuntu 11.10, the only account visible in Evolution is "me"@localhost, when it should be "me"@gmail.com. The old messages were imported to this localhost account during the upgrade, but I'm not able to receive any messages any more. Everything seems normal in the Evolution settings. I don't know if it's related, but Evolution has two items in "default applications" selection. Selecting one or the other doesn't seem to affect anything though.
I wouldn't mind getting some help to solve this problem, as currently I have to send and read email through Gmail web interface, which I find very unpleasant to use. So, how do I get my "me"@gmail account back, visible and working again?

Unlike local folders, the mbox account has send and receive settings. Those settings, after migration, are not however set to anything useful. My username is 'jim', so the Email was set to 'jim@localhost'. No one on another system can reach me using that e-mail. In my case, it's not simply that people might receive e-mails with a seemingly nonsensical from address; my service provider will actually block messages because the from address is not registered with it (an anti-spam measure). I would recommend instead that this account clone the settings from whatever account was set up as 'Default', or that it simply defer to the Default account when mail is sent while accessing that folder as Evolution did with the local folders account. This bug is exacerbated by bug#861060, which prevents me from actually changing the default settings.
