Note:
After you have your mailboxes all how you want in the new Evolution
under Athena 9.2 (Linux), when you use Evolution under 9.1:
All your sub-folders default to be open. You have to close them.
Any state about what sorting order is lost.
When you go back to 9.2,
All your sub-folders default to be CLOSED.
All state information on sorting order in any folder is lost.
It would not have been hard to code the folder state table so that
it was backwards compatible. Un-recognized state variables could have
been copied, not erased. Common functionality could have remained
in the same item.
But NOBODY shares config files across versions of Evolution!
