Hi Daniel,

You might try checking to see if Evolution changed the ownership of your
mail directory.  The user needs to own the Maildir and I believe the
permissions need to be 700 on the directory. If the directory is world
readable or writable programs are not supposed to access the directory.
Maybe Evolution changed the permissions or ownership of the file?
