I'd like to second this bug: dragging a file from Nautilus into the
Evolution window is possible. Drag any file onto either a folder in the
folder list (but not a search folder, junk or deleted items), and you
see that it is accepted (a plus-sign appears on the dragged file and the
folder is (kind of) selected (dotted rectangle around it).

This action only does something (ok, I didn't look in the source, so
there may be exceptions) when the dragged file is an mbox. In that case,
the email messages inside are copied into the folder. (This also works
the other way around: dragging an email message from evolution into
Nautilus creates an mbox for that message.)

When the dragged file is not an mbox, nothing happens. This is
confusing: either it should not be possible to drag a not-accepted file
into Evolution, or a message should be displayed that it is not a
supported file type (or something like that).
