For me this also happens with imapx accounts. Modifying any setting when
editing an imapx account causes the apply button to become disabled.
Changing the setting back still leaves apply disabled. Editing
preferences for pop accounts works fine for me.

Title:
  Cannot change settings on mbox account

Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After updating to Oneiric, I found my local folders migrated to a new
  mbox account. No problem there; I'm sure there are good reasons for
  it. However, the mbox account has some bugs / user experience issues,
  and in trying to work around them, I've found that I can't change
  settings on this account.

  The usual mechanism to do this is to use the Edit / Preferences menu
  item, select the account with 'Mail Accounts' selected on the left,
  and click edit. The account (mine is 'jim@localhost') has protocol
  'mbox'.

  This works fine for other protocols. For the 'mbox' protocol, the
  'Apply' key has been disabled. Consequently, I can't change the
  settings on this account, and am left with (for example) a 'from'
  address that is meaningless for actually sending out e-mails.

  Actually changing data doesn't affect this behaviour (it's not simply
  whether I've actually made a change).
