Thank you. This worked as long as the mail landed in the "inbox" folder,
but i have filters which sends diffrent xfce-maillist mail to diffrent
folders. And AFAIK these don't have their own mbox file. Anyway if they
had, it would be necessary to watch several files, which is not a
supported feature. 

But, with this being sad, this is maybe turning into a bit more of an
evolution problem than an xfce one, so I'll just be quiet and move
workspace to check my mail :)

Thanks for the help everyone!

love ted
