Evolution (Ubuntu 6.10 to Sarge)Hello, if you read my first blog entry you will see a brief decription of my problem. I have gone from having a working Ubuntu 6.06 LTS to a broken 6.10. I copied my Evolution mail and address book folder onto a Windows machine with Samba. Then I rebuilt the machine with Sarge rather than Ubuntu. Can anyone help me put the mail and address book onto the Sarge machine? Is it possible? TIA Bookmark/Search this post with:

Re: Evolution and Sarge
This comment notes some problems you may have.
And while I'm not 100% sure about Evolution (I don't use it), the typical *nix application will store its configuration and data under a "dot-directory" located in your home directory.
So, my username is "intnsred". My home directory is /home/intnsred. An application, for example the GIMP graphic editor, will store its configuration under /home/intnsred/.gimp
To move that configuration between machines, I just have to create a tarball/archive and/or copy the /home/intnsred/.gimp between the machines.
Mail programs can be a bit more difficult since they sometimes store the mail into a directory of /home/intnsred/Mail in addition to their own app's configuration subdirectory. Check out the app's configuration for details.
