Evolution error message with 11.10 mbox

Asked by Stanley Bartlett

The reported error was "Failed to append to mbox:///home/stanley/.local/share/evolution/mail/local#Sent: Invalid folder URI 'mbox:///home/stanley/.local/share/evolution/mail/local#Sent'
Appending to local 'Sent' folder instead.". This is the error message I am getting since upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10. How do I get the local address out of there and go back to the simple way it was before? Would it be better to switch to Thunderbird, and if so please provide instructions?

I think I have figured out how to eliminate this error.

You need to set a new default for Drafts and Sent Messages in your account settings under Preferences. I tried it and no more error.

Can you help with this problem?
