Let's try again shall we... I am trying to add a local account (ie /var/mail) to evolution, which is what I did in the screenshots and when I do this it creates a *new* subtree with the default name <my-email-address> not as everyone claims -- "On My Computer". I will ask again, how do I get evolution to add local mail to my "On My Computer" subtree?? -- OoberMick _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
