Then I set up the evolution receiving Email as below.
  Server tyepe : Local delivery
  Mail spool path : /usr/spool/mail 

Affter that , I try toreceiving the mail by cliking send/receive button.
But error message comes.(origial message is japanese)
 The error happen in the syncronize the mail
 Could not open the mail file /var/spool/mail:it's the directry.

In the setup, I can not select /var/spool/mail/root because it's grey,
and help says 'specify spool', it's directry.
