Permissions problem with evolution-devel

Hello,

I use the Gnome 2 desktop and thought I'd give Evolution a try.  This 
is the second time I've tried installing it.  It seems to build and 
install without any problems and I even get through the initial set up 
without any difficulties.  However, when I tell it to check my mail, I 
get the following error message:

Error while 'Storing folder 'home/scott/evolution/local/Inbox'':
Cannot create folder lock on //home/scott/evolution/local/Inbox/mbox: 
Permission denied

There was no pre-existing evolution folder in my home directory and 
I'm somewhat mystified as to why Evolution itself would create folders 
and files that it could not then access.

The permissions on the folder and its contents are as follows:

borges[106]% ls -l | grep evolution
drwx------   5 scott  wheel   512 Jun  4 12:22 evolution/

borges[107]% ls -l evolution
total 16
-r--r--r--   1 scott  wheel   224 Jun  4 12:19 addressbook-sources.xml
drwxr-xr-x  10 scott  wheel   512 Jun  4 12:19 local/
drwx------   4 scott  wheel   512 Jun  4 12:22 mail/
-r--r--r--   1 scott  wheel  3194 Jun  4 12:19 searches.xml

-r--r--r--   1 scott  wheel   712 Jun  4 12:19 vfolders.xml
drwxr-xr-x   6 scott  wheel   512 Jun  4 12:19 views/

borges[113]% ls -l evolution/local/Inbox
total 40
-r--r--r--  1 scott  wheel    103 Jun  4 12:19 folder-metadata.xml
-rw-------  1 scott  wheel     95 Jun  4 12:20 local-metadata.xml
-r--r--r--  1 scott  wheel  22371 Jun  4 12:19 mbox
-rw-------  1 scott  wheel    166 Jun  4 12:20 mbox.ev-summary
-rw-------  1 scott  wheel  10240 Jun  4 12:20 mbox.ibex.index
-rw-------  1 scott  wheel   1388 Jun  4 12:20 mbox.ibex.index.data

All of the files in the listings were created by the program itself 
upon first starting up.  Does anyone know why this would be happening 
and how I might go about fixing this without having to manually go 
through and set the correct permissions on each individual file?

I've tried searching google and the list archives without any success 
thus far.  I also sent a message to questions@ a while ago but 
received no response.  Hopefully, I have found the right list.  Any 
pointers or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Scott
