[Bug 76398] Can't use maildir to retrieve mail in Evolution

Public bug reported:

How to reproduce the problem:

1) Open up evolution
2) Create a new account (or edit an old one)
3) Set the "Server Type" in the "Receiving Mail" tab to "Maildir-format mail directories"
4) Try to select a path

The problem here is that the dialog box is broken and wants you to
select a regular file (not a directory).  If you select a bogus regular
file, then edit the gconf key and replace the bogus file with the actual
maildir, everything works correctly.

** Affects: evolution (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
