Description Joseph Sacco 2006-01-05 04:24:10 UTC 
evo-2.5.4 crashes when starting an existing evo account that utilizes a local delivery server [/var/spool/mail/user file on the local server].

The source of the crash can be traced to an undefined symbol

     mail_tool_get_local_movemail_path

in 
     libevolution-mail.so

This function was "short-circuited"  in

     ./mail/mail-tools.c

The comment in this source file said the function was 

     /* Not used */

However, this function *is* used by another function defined in mail-tools.c

     char * mail_tool_do_movemail (const char *source_url, CamelException *ex)


To fix the problem, I removed the "#if 0 #endif" surrounding the definition of 

     mail_tool_get_local_movemail_path ().

No backtrace necessary anyway. Details to reprocude this issue are given, even the code that's wrong is mentioned.
