I noticed something unusual in the left pane of Evolution. After my e-
mail accounts but before "Search Folders" there is a line "local_mbox".
When I click on it, it reveals no contents. Asking for its properties
brings up the Account Editor, but the account appears to be blank.
However, when I click on "Send / Receive" it appears in the "Send &
Receive Mail" popup with a file path that appears to be (from the quick
glimpse I can get of it) the 9d8ea32ba2403d0384ee571755fb07b1045001c2
directory mentioned above. "local_mbox" also appears in the dropdown
under "Send / Receive" after my e-mail accounts.
Just in case it is relavent, I have attached the output of "ls -al"
directed at the 9d8ea32ba2403d0384ee571755fb07b1045001c2 directory.
