Description of problem: In gconf setting /apps/evolution/mail/accounts for the account reading from the local /var/mail/<logname> only the name of the directory could be set. Of course, that makes evolution unhappy because /var/mail is not a mbox. When fixing this value with gconf-editor evolution works again correctly. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-2.10.2-2.fc7 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.just upgrade to FC7 2. 3. Actual results: evolution cannot read from /var/mail/<logname> and it is not possible to fix the setting through GUI. Expected results: Actually, it seems to me silly, that the folder is settable at all -- /var/mail/logname should be automatic, even more when there is a special type of account for reading from the local spool. For anybody who is so weird, that it doesn't have local mailspool there, it is so weird, that symlink should be enough IMHO.

Correct. Moving this upstream to the bug Andre pointed out.
