+ <title>
+ Evolution reported an error when trying to retrieve from my
+ local spool in <tt>/var/spool/mail/username</tt>. Why?
+ </title>
+
+ <para>
+ Evolution doesn't have an external helper for moving mail,
+ so <tt>/var/spool/mail/</tt> must be writable by you. Try this:
+ </para>
+
+ <programlisting>
+chmod 1777 /var/spool/mail
+ </programlisting>
+
+ <para>
+ Yes, we know this is a problem. It will be fixed eventually.
