Description Ivan Sedo 2007-08-03 11:33:03 UTC 
Description of problem:
I want to create account to read messages from my local mail spool.
If I go to /var/spool/mail in path configuration dialog spool files are grayed
out. If I pass the user name by hand to the location part of this dialog I get
"The folder could not be created, error accessing file /var/mail/user: File exists"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evolution-2.10.3-1.fc7

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Invoke Evolution Account Assistant
2. Select local delivery in Receiving Email tab
3. Try to select you spool file (/var/spool/mail/user)
  
Actual results:
Cannot select particular mail spool file thus no such account is available in
Mail Window. If I go to /var/spool/mail in path configuration dialog spool files
are grayed out. If I pass the user name by hand to the location part of this
dialog I get "The folder could not be created, error accessing file
/var/mail/user: File exists"

Expected results:
User should be able to select mail spool file.
