It seems that I might be suffering from the same problem. After
upgrading to Ubuntu 11.10, the only account visible in Evolution is
"me"@localhost, when it should be "me"@gmail.com. The old messages were
imported to this localhost account during the upgrade, but I'm not able
to  receive any messages any more. Everything seems normal in the
Evolution settings. I don't know if it's related, but Evolution has two
items in "default applications" selection. Selecting one or the other
doesn't seem to affect anything though.

I wouldn't mind getting some help to solve this problem, as currently I
have to  send and read email through Gmail web interface, which I find
very unpleasant to use. So, how do I get my "me"@gmail account back,
visible and working again? Thanks.

Title:
  mbox account needs better initial settings

Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Upon upgrade to Oneiric, my local folders were migrated to a new
  'mbox' account. Unlike local folders, the mbox account has send and
  receive settings. Those settings, after migration, are not however set
  to anything useful. My username is 'jim', so the Email was set to
  'jim@localhost'. No one on another system can reach me using that
  e-mail.

  In my case, it's not simply that people might receive e-mails with a
  seemingly nonsensical from address; my service provider will actually
  block messages because the from address is not registered with it (an
  anti-spam measure).

  I would recommend instead that this account clone the settings from
  whatever account was set up as 'Default', or that it simply defer to
  the Default account when mail is sent while accessing that folder as
  Evolution did with the local folders account.

  This bug is exacerbated by bug#861060, which prevents me from actually
  changing the default settings.
