mbox stores all messages in one giant file. maildir stores each message in its own file. Evolution is using mbox format. But it manages multiple mbox files by placing them in different directories. This is not the same as maildir. A maildir has three subdirectories: new, cur, and tmp. 'tmp' is what it sounds like: a place for temporary files. 'new' contains unread messages. And 'cur' contains messages you have read. Evolution supports the maildir format also. Your messages go into 'new' (or 'cur' after reading), one file per message. -- Robert W.
