I say 'backend', but it's just a different 'server type' that you can select from within Evolution.
Go to edit->preferences and add a new mail account. When you select the 'server type' you can choose from pop, imap, mbox, mh, maildir, and others. If you select maildir you can then specify your maildir directory.
I still don't understand. I am using a pop server. What does it mean to say I am using a maildir server?
I collect my messages from my pop server and store them locally. So I have one 'account' configured as a pop server. I have another 'account' configured as an 'mh' "server", which uses local directories to store messages, one file per email. I have incoming filter rules that take the pop mail and puts the mail into appropriate mh folders.
I thought everyone did that :)
