Hey, glad to see you're bark is back, despite the strep :)
Have you tried following ~/.evolution/mail/local ?
You should see your evolution mailboxes in that directory. Just for
kicks, enter that directory and do something like:
cp -i Inbox ~/your-mail-dir-here/evotest
Make sure not to copy Inbox or Sent or someother file there that
doesn't end in an extension.
Then open mutt and see if you can switch to that mailbox. It should
work just fine. If it does, you can move the rest of your evolution
mailboxes in there and be right at home again.
Good Luck,
Forrest
