Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

Description:
When Evolution is configured to receive mail using Local Delivery, it clears the Inbox every time I close the session.
Version: 2.6.1-0ubuntu7

Steps to reproduce:
1. Make sure there are messages in /var/spool/mail/username (for instance by copying an existent mailbox)
2. Configure an account in Evolution, using the Local Delivery method for incoming mail, and point it to /var/spool/mail/username (or /var/mail/username)
3. Read the messages in the Inbox (without deleting them)
4. Close Evolution, Close the session, Login again, and open Evolution

Expected result:
Evolution shows the previous messages in the local Inbox.

Result:
Evolution shows the "Welcome to Evolution" message in the local Inbox, and no other messages.

It was caused by Sabayon over-writing the initial Evolution files. Please Close.

Not an evolution bug, closing. Sabayon is not supposed to overwrite the user configuration though. How did you use it? Feel free to open a bug against sabayon if you think it's doing something wrongly
