Please describe the problem:
When using evolution-2.8.3-r1 and setting up a new mail account, choosing
"Maildir folders" as the receiving mail type, the resulting file chooser dialog
will not let me choose a folder when it contains subdirectories. For instance,
when trying to select ~/Mail/ (which contains several nested maildir folders),
clicking "Open" will instead navigate to a subdir, then another subdir, and
finally the dialog will only dispatch when choosing an individual message (ie,
the dialog has gone as deep into the directory structure as possible).

The only workaround is to create the account with the bogus/unusable setting
and then manually correct it with gconf.

Steps to reproduce:

1.Create a Mail folder structure with nested maildirs (~/Mail, ~/Mail/folder1,
~/Mail/folder2, etc)
2.Create a new account in evolution, try to select the top-level directory
(~/Mail)
3.Try to get the file chooser dialog to accept the top-level directory without
going into the subdirectories.


Actual results:
Evolution eventually tries to open an individual message as a maildir folder and fails.


Expected results:
File chooser allows you to pick an arbitrary folder, regardless of the
existence of subdirs.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.
