SSL Certificates are stored in $HOME/.camel_certs "How can I transfer all my Evolution data between computers/to a new partition/to a new computer?" Make sure you haven't started Evolution on the new computer/new partition yet. First of all, shut Evolution and its background processes (Evolution Data Server, Evolution Alarm Notify) completly down by using evolution --force-shutdown Then copy the contents of $HOME/.evolution/, $HOME/.gnome2_private/Evolution, $HOME/.camel_certs. Then dump your Evolution settings stored in GConf by running gconftool-2 --dump /apps/evolution > some-file.xml where "some-file.xml" is the name of the file the information is written to. On the new computer, make sure you are 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. > I think there should also be an option to store&backup a profile > (configuration only / full data backup) so that it can be saved > somewhere else. yepp. cheers, andre -- mailto:ak-47 gmx net | failed! http://www.iomc.de
