/home/<user>/.local/share/evolution/mail/spool/: (No such file or directory)
/home/<user>/.local/share/evolution/mail/smtp/<user@isp>:465 (No such file or

stat64("/var/mail/<user>" etc = 0
open("/var/mail/<user>", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 33
Several times: (varying 6 char extension to <user>.
stat64("/var/mail/<user>", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0660, st_size=95669778, ...}) = 0
open("/var/mail/<user>RKL7MW", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE, 0600) = -1
