Hello,
I've just discovered some interesting thing... I was asking me how could
I access at least my local folders with some normal UNIX MUA, like
'mutt'; it turned out that:
a)
the local (i.e. the ones below "On This Computer") folders are below
~/.evolution/mail/local/
b)
if you use there subdirectories which appear in Evo as 'XYZ', then their
mail folders are below ~/.evolution/mail/local/XYZ.sbd
c)
for every real mail folder, for example for one which appears in Evo as
'backupIncoming', the following 4 files seem to be exist:
backupIncoming
backupIncoming.cmeta
backupIncoming.ibex.index
backupIncoming.ibex.index.data
d)
and the file 'backupIncoming' is in MBox format, at least the MUA 'mutt'
accepts it and you can just open and read the mails with:
$ mutt -f ~/.evolution/mail/local/backupIncoming
ofc you should do that carefully and read only to not make Evo unhappy
:-)
but at least it is a way to use mails there from another MUA or just
grep for mails or addresses...
