When creating a new account where the server type is "Maildir-format mail
directories", the browse dialog to chose the top level directory for the
Maildir directory heirarchy presents an "Open" button.  Clicking this button
with a directory selected should close the dialog and return the full path to
the directory to the parent dialog needing the information.  Instead, pressing
"Open" simply opens the directory and moves the browse window down into the
Maildir heirarchy.  I would guess that the browse dialog is programmed to
return a file, whereas with Maildirs, the required value in the Path field is a
directory.

The full path to the top of the required Maildir structure can be manually
entered into the "Path" text entry field, so this isn't a show-stopper, but the
browse dialog in this case is useful only for providing information for manual
entry and not for actually selecting a directory.

This bug is also reproduced in 2.8.x, was reported UPSTREAM (see URL) but still
is not fixed.

Backported patches from UPSTREAM svn to fix this issue. Works here.

I'd like to apply them, but the only question I have is: patch in evolution
depends on functionality from patch for e-d-s. Can I add explicit dependency on
1.10.2-r1 into evolution? What gnome team think?

Certainly not for evo 2.8.  For evo 2.10, sure.

Thank you for report, Lindsay. This bug is fixed in evolution-2.10.2-r1.
