<para>
- You may want to use <application>Evolution</application> and another email client, such as <application>Mutt</application>. You should download your mail as you would normally with <application>Mutt</application>. Set your identity in <application>Evolution</application> to be a Standard Unix mailbox file, UNIX mbox spool-format mail files, or the QMail maildir-format mail file. Then specify the file that you read your email from. You can now use both mail programs seamlessly together, using the same files.
