(The Mail Check thing is;

)

The mbox was found in /home/ted/evolution/local/Inbox/ yes. But there
are constantly mails in that, even though I have moved all the mails to
diffrent folders, and there are no new mails. So Check Mail thinks there
are new mails constantly, in other words, not good for notifying when
there are new :)

So to sum it up, im still pretty stuck. If anyone who's got it working
with evolution, or just the same kind of mbox file (which holds all the
mails) please tell me what im doing wrong :)
