I'm running Evolution 2.04 under Xandros and want to install OpenSUSE tomorrow, however I'd like -if possible- to export rules I set up in Evolution, as well as calendar and contacts. Nowhere in help do I see any way to do this.
Is it perhaps as simple as saving the .evolution directory in my $HOME?
assuming that you haven't run evo on the new computer and received new mails for example, here we go: evolution stores your data in "$HOME/.evolution/", your account settings in "$HOME/.gconf/apps/evolution" and your passwords in "$HOME/.gnome2_private/Evolution". ssl certificates are stored in "$HOME/.camel_certs". shut down evolution on the old computer by running "evolution --force-shutdown". copy your data and your passwords. dump your account settings by running "gconftool-2 --dump /apps/evolution > some-file.xml". on the new computer, make sure you're not running gconf (by "ps ax | grep gconf" for example; you normally have to leave gnome for that and then run "gconftool-2 --shutdown"). then import those settings by running "gconftool-2 --load some-file.xml" and log in to gnome again. sometimes this also works without shutting down gconf, but at least when copying my data to a new computer i *had* to log out of gnome and shut down gconf. :-/ cheers, andre -- mailto:ak-47 gmx net | failed! http://www.iomc.de
