Question Evolution -> spoolfile -> no messages


I have configured Sendmail and in the terminal, I can send and receive E-mails. But when I configure Evolution and chose "Standard Unix spool file" path: /var/spool/mail/user01
it says there are no messages. But when I look in the terminal or in Webmin, I have 2 new messages.
I also tried different account and all give the same "error". It seems that Evolution doens't read the mbox-file I select?

Did you try restarting its service?

That's what I meant in my topicpost Ik tried both the options with no result.
When I open the mbox-files in the terminal, I can see the E-mails, but Evolution doesn't :s

Talking

Problem solved!
I had configured Evolution in my basic useraccount to read the mbox-file of user01 and user02 so I didn't had to log out all the time.
This didn't work (that's why I oppened this topic) But know I have configured Evolution on both user01 and user02 and now it all works!!

I feel so stupid now
