→Configuring Evolution to Receive Mail from a Local Postfix Server
The default configuration for Postfix is to place email in a /var/spool/mail/<login id>. For example if your log in ID on the system is john your email will be placed in a file called /var/spool/mail/john.
On the Evolution “Receive Mail” screen, therefore, we need to change the “Server Type” to “Local delivery”“Standard Unix mbox spool or directory”. The wizard should then fill in the correct location of the mailbox for your account.
