Evolution mail - Maildir format - does it work?

[lejeczek]

Hi guys.

I have Postfix save to 'Maildir' and Mutt reads it no 
problem - shows emails, etc.
But when I create an account in Evolution with "Server Type" 
of "Maildir-format mail directories" I see no emails there - 
is that not type for Maildir and perhaps Evolution does not 
support this format or there could be a bug problem?

many thanks, L.

Evolution definitely does support Maildir for local mail storage. I
suggest you take this to the Evolution list.

It works with Maildir, it's its internal default (the local folders, if
you use that feature, are Maildir).

Carefully check your paths.  That'd be my first guess.
