- Standard Unix mbox spools will create a a subtree of folder(s) in the folder-tree view and leave messages there. This is for people who want to share mbox folders between mail clients. So for example you could tell evolution to read an mbox spool such as /home/<user>/Mail/inbox that might actually be part of Balsa, KMail, mutt, pine, etc - Local Delivery is if you want Evolution to "download" mail from say /var/spool/mail/<user> and filter it into your various other folders (assuming you have filters setup, otherwise it delivers them to Inbox). > > 2. What is "Mail-dir format mail directories" ? If you don't know, you probably don't have it :-) Maildir is the mail format that QMail uses, I think mutt also has support for it.
