	Hi,
it's not great to start a new thread for a thing you opened here
already, just few days ago.

You have two options:

a) search the ~/.config/evolution/sources/*.source files for those
related to your MH account and change under the [Data Source] the key
Enabled to Enabled=false . You can recognize the sources by them
containing line BackendName=mh . That will disable the account in
Evolution.

b) convince the distro maintainers to backport the fix from the bug I
posted a link to in your original thread (it's an exercise for you to
find it, otherwise, if you kept your message in that thread, you'd have
it for free).

You can also try to delete a corresponding folders.db file under the
~/.local/share/evolution/mail/<uid-of-the-mh-account>/
but I'm not 100% sure it would help.

	Bye,
	Milan
