You only need to set your server setting (where you normally set pop or imap) to "email in maildir format" setting. That works great for me ;)
This seems to mean that if I go to Edit->Preferences->Mail Accounts->Receiving Email and then change the Server Type in the pull down menu from POP (as it is now) to Maildir, then Evolution will continue to fetch my email from the appropriate pop server, and then store it all in folders of maildir format.
I don't think this is likely.
You are correct - evolution is not magic.
I suspect that what you *really* mean is that if some other program (say fetchmail) downloads email from the pop server and stores it in maildir style folders, then Evolution can manage it properly. Is this correct? If so, do you know any program to convert my folders, now in mbox format, into maildir format?
