<bugzilla at FreeBSD.org>'s request for maintainer-feedback to gnome at FreeBSD.org:
Bug 202119: databases/evolution-data-server: local mail delivery fails due to
permissions
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=202119



--- Description ---
Local mail delivery needs write access to /var/mail to create lock files.

Evolution has an sgid helper for that (libexec/camel-lock-helper*) however on
freebsd it's group owner is "wheel" while /var/mail has group owner "mail".

Executing `chgrp mail /usr/local/libexec/camel-lock-helper*` fixes that.
