The default location? Whenever I add any account the default has always been the e-mail address. But I've managed to get it to read my local mail to there by changing the default location -- My e-mail address -- to the "default" location -- "On This Computer". But it was in no way clear that I would be able to do that. >> I've noticed that evolution creates a "Junk" (virtual?) folder but I >> haven't asked evolution not to check for spam so why does it create >> that folder?
