Suppose that A is a closed linear operator in a Fréchet space X. We show that there always is a maximal subspace Z containing all xX for which the abstract Cauchy problem has a mild solution, which is a Fréchet space for a stronger topology. The space Z is isomorphic to a quotient of a Fréchet space F, and the part Az of A in Z is similar to the quotient of a closed linear operator B on F for which the abstract Cauchy problem is well-posed. If mild solutions of the Cauchy problem for A in X are unique it is not necessary to pass to a quotient, and we reobtain a result due to R. deLaubenfels.

Moreover, we obtain a continuous selection operator for mild solutions of the inhomogeneous equation.
