[Evolution] Error setting evolution: shortcut to inbox cannot be created

[José Romildo Malaquias <romildo uber com br>]

Hello.

When running evolution 0.99.0 for the first time in my Red Hat Linux 7.2
box, at the setup assistant, I receive the following error message:

        Error:

        Could not get inbox for new mail store:
        Could not lock '/var/spool/mail/romildo'
        No shortcut will be created.

I was configuring with the Server Type "Standard Unix mbox spools" for
receiving email, and "Sendmail" for sending email.

I have been using an ADSL connection to the internet, fetching mail from
the provider with fetchmail, and sendmail to deliver my email.

Any clues?
