I'd already mentioned creating non-network ones (as far as Evolution is concerned), where something else has fetched the mail and locally stored them, for them you can configure how Evolution works with them. Indeed, you have to, if something else brought in mail as maildir, then you need Evolution to work in the same way. I'd noticed that for my other accounts I'd created they don't have any local folders. Accounts I'd created to use IMAP with my LAN mail server, IMAP with gmail, SMTP with Yahoo, etc. I don't have any of them set to locally cache, and I'm not going to try it to see what it does. But I'd suspect maildir would get used for any caching, based on the other local one that doesn't offer you configuration options, you don't get any questions about how to store these, either. Oddly, there's some orphaned folders in there untouched from when I experimented with Evolution a couple of years back, where there's a folder name of a hash@domain name with a folders.db SQL file in it. I've created and removed folders since their dates, so I'm certain they're old ones unrelated to current operation. I think they should have been deleted by Evolution at the time, but they've not been. There's only about 12kB in total, so I don't care all that much. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.53.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jan 14 13:59:45 UTC 2022 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
