[Evolution] Evo 2.0 + MailDir format

[Evolution List]

So can someone please clarify for me....

If I create an account and instead of setting the account to POP for
receiving I set it to Maildir how can emails be retrieved under that
account (given that there are no POP settings in it)? 

I mean how does one work with emails in Maildir format through Evolution
in a practical sense? 

I have been trying and trying and dying to find out but have found
nothing on this anywhere even though Evolution is purported to support
Maildir.  I am asking because all my old email under KMail is in maildir
format and I would like to get it into Evolution.  Plus the fact that I
would prefer for my emails to be stored in Maildir format. 

Anybody? 

Thanks.
