Have you expanded the account on the folder view?
Mail in maildir stores isn't moved into the evolution space on purpose, it just stays in the maildir area.

I've been using Evolution with mbox format mail for ages - works well. I've set up a new machine - with Gentoo. I have emerged exim and evolution - both are up to date (according to gentoo).

Ver 1.4.6 (Clicking on the [Help] button) Under tools-->settings-->mail accounts... I have a single account.. Under receiving mail - I have chosen... Maildir-format mail directories (for storing local mail in maildir directories) and set the Path to "/var/spool/mail/mje". As far as I can see - this appears to be the right thing to do - but clicking on [Send&Receive] does nothing... (I get no e-mail) yet I'm curious as to why email from 'new' somehow moves to 'cur' in the spool directory.... and what is that file '..ev-summary' ??? Please someone - what am I doing wrong? The FAQ has no clues, the Mailing List archive over the last few months gives no clues... If I use mbox and have a standard mbox in /var/spool/mail - it works... but I'd prefer to use maildirs.
