    [please cc: me in any replies as I am not currently subbed to this
    list. Thank you.]

    I've been attempting to use Evolution for a couple of weeks now with
    no success. Even though the cvs log on freshports.org says a fix was
    committed to take care of my problem (or so I thought), a new build of
    Evolution (as of last night) still has read-only mailboxes. I'm now
    up to version 1.4.0.

    In order to attempt to get a fresh start with Evolution, I wiped out
    ~/evolution and then deleted the Evolution entries in
    ~/.gnome2_private and ~/.gconf/apps/evolution. However, I still see
    the following error whether I'm trying to check my mail or just read
    the introductory message that is already in the Inbox:

    Error while 'Retrieving message 3549':
    Cannot create folder lock on //home/scott/evolution/local/Inbox/mbox:
    Permission denied

    I asked about this a week or two ago and received no response. Am I
    asking in the wrong place or is this a known problem that will soon be
    fixed? Or should I just manually go through and set permissions on
    everything myself (something I'd rather not do as I'm not sure what
    the permissions are supposed to be and what other file permissions
    might be messed up)? I'm running 5.1-RELEASE and using Gnome 2.

    Thanks,
    Scott
