As far as I'm aware, the only folder that Evolution will try sending
queued mail from is the "Outbox".  It might be in there, but not
visible.

Look in the "view" menu, untick the "hide" option, and try the "view"
options.  Make sure the "show" drop-list above the message list is
showing "all messages".  See if, after all of that, you can spot a
message in the outbox.  Now try deleting it and "expunge" the folder
(folder menu option).

Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.  Today, it's FC7.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
