Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evolution

Description:
When Evolution is configured to receive mail using Local Delivery, it clears the Inbox every time I close the session.
Version:  2.6.1-0ubuntu7

Steps to reproduce:
1. Make sure there are messages in /var/spool/mail/username (for instance by copying an existent mailbox)
2. Configure an account in Evolution, using the Local Delivery method for incoming mail, and point it to /var/spool/mail/username (or /var/mail/username)
3. Read the messages in the Inbox (without deleting them)
4. Close Evolution, Close the session, Login again, and open Evolution

Expected result:
Evolution shows the previous messages in the local Inbox.

Result:
Evolution shows the "Welcome to Evolution" message in the local Inbox, and no other messages.

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