[Evolution] Bug#491592: evolution: offers only server type "None"

Package: evolution
Version: 2.6.3-6etch2
Severity: important
After fresh etch installation, running evolution for the first time for a user
dutifully opens the account wizard. On 3rd screen, "Receiving Email", it asks
for the Server Type, but offers only "None" (probably should offer things like
POP3, IMAP, local, etc.).
This makes evolution unusable for me, but I don't know whether this applies to
others, too.
I believe when I ran it for the first time, there may have been messages about
a camel, but they don't seem to come again.
Looks a bit like Bug#420848, but a) that's over a year old, b) I haven't
mixed stable and unstable on this machine, c) Oystein suggested to file
individual bugs for further problems, and d) I cannot see a simple way
to downgrade (in etch, without downgrading to packages in other distributions).
Thanks for the great work everyone, anyway!
Cheers,
Jan.
