When I first set up evolution there was no 'mbox spool' option, there
was just 'local delivery' or 'imap'. I have a local mailbox, and I
needed to get to it, so it seemed the obvious thing to do.
What is 'Local Delivery' for?

Is the problem locking it a problem with a symlink to a mail spool or
the fact that the mail spool is on an NFS mounted partition?

Except for 'Local Folders' which is always first!
