Lavabit has sort of come back and old customers were granted free accounts for life. Very thoughtful. I have been accessing my risen from the ashes Lavabit account also with Thunderbird. However, I have been experiencing some bizarre errors which I have been working with tech support to try and sort out. At their suggestion I am trying different email clients. My first try was Evolution (on a Linux MintMate 19.3 virtual machine at the moment.) It was easy to setup and is VERY responsive. Much more so than Thunderbird. However, I can find no way to create a 'local' folder.
The manual describes various local 'account types.' In fact an 'On This Computer' directory structure appears in Evolution by default. I do not think I should create my backup folders here as I cannot delete unwanted folders which were created by default. To further confuse matters, the Search Folders dialog mentions local and remote folders.
Would someone kindly point out what I am overlooking?
TIA,
Ken
