I actually don't care about the format of the mailbox, since evolution
calls mbox to mbox style and maildir style (haven't checked mh, but I'd
suspect it will call them mbox anyway):
folder/mbox
or
folder/mbox/{new,cur,tmp}
I just get folder as a name to symlink.
with subfolders (this here has a caveat, I ignore mbox on folders that
have subfolders - except for inbox), I make a directory to contain all
sublinks.

yeah, but I really don't see much of a chance of doing that easily.

I've actually written one myself already, as I'm constantly on the
lookout for "the perfect" e-mail client for *nix. There isn't one, by
the way. =:\ But evolution is the closest thing to a complete e-mail
client that I've seen in 12+ years of using *nix. I've used the
attached perl script more times than I care to remember, and it works
for what I need it for and has come in very handy as evolution has
progressed to the point of being my main e-mail client, along with mutt
and balsa.
This script will create an mbox-spool-type directory structure with
symlinks to evolution's mbox files wherever you tell it to, and coming
from wherever you tell it to. Incidentally, I first tried this in
reverse--leaving the real mbox files in my mbox directory structure and
creating an evolution directory structure that had the symlinks
("~/Mail/Inbox -> ~/evolution/local/Inbox/mbox").
This, however, doesn't work, as evolution first removes the symlink and
then recreates the file when it goes to save changes to an mbox file.
I've never understood why this is done, and it annoys the heck out of
me, as I'd much prefer to have simply been able to use my 8-year+
accumulated mbox-spool directory with evolution, rather than convert it
all to evolution's directory structure.
So, along with this perl script that's hopefully helpful to someone,
somewhere, can anyone explain why evolution does this? I use mutt and
have for years, and it does not do this.
Please let me know what you think

My main reason for using evolution is the ability to sync contacts and calendars. I'd love to be able to use vim for advanced (and decent) text editing of email. I don't give a damn about html composition, which, imho is braindead for 99.999% of the uses, but as I understand a lot of people use it and like it, I can't complain about having an html editor. However, since I _never_ use the html features in any email I send, I would much rather be able to do :%s/.../.../g in the same application. Btw, after some finishing touches, I intend to release a perl script to help integrate evolution email folders with email text editors, such as mutt, which is great, but does not do imap, calendar and contacts as good as evolution does, besides being a terrific email client. > Yes, but they'll never be able to write an email again.

I think all of this is solved quite easily by the way components work. Gnome-vim is packaged separately from Evolution. If Evolution queries Oaf to see which compatible editor components are installed and only finds one, it doesn't have to display any configurable options. If it finds gnome-vim (or something else), then obviously the user or the user's IT department has installed it explicitly, so it should appear as an option.

An "Advanced" button on editor configuration where you could specify an alternative editor is a good idea.

A user who is unable to make vi work after turning it on, will quickly turn something else on. And the risk can be further reduced by popping a warning about the perils changing editors at the time the user changes the setting.

I totally agree with Mattias. Don't make the users more stupid than they are. Default configuration should of course be a simple non-vim editor environment, but making the possibility to change the editor hard to find does not make any sense.

I posted about this a few months ago, and I think I've got something to the stage where others may be interested in taking a look. I've created a bonobo component which embeds VIM inside a zvt widget, and implements part of the GtkHTML interface. It works with Evolution (if you hack evolution a bit so that knows about gnome-vim). You can check it out at http://www.opensky.ca/gnome-vim I'd be curious to hear what people think about it. -- Jason D.
