Re: [Evolution] Multiple pop accounts

[Hongzheng Wang <wanghz gmail com>]

Yeah, virtual folder is a wonderful tool.  But I'm still wonder
whether I can get really seperated mbox files?  Since I usually need
to backup my mails from some special source, the sperated mbox would
be very convenience to do that.  Otherwise, I would have to copy the
whole huge mbox and recreate the virtual folder in the new system.

Thank you.
