[Evolution] total backup?

[Danny Wilson <scope zapo net>]

Hi,
A few days ago, I booted up my laptop and seemed to have lost quite a
few settings, the desktop image, menus, icons, evolution to name some.
(the only thing I noticed was the HD going overtime before I shut it
down the night before)

Evolution started as if I hadn't used it before, I entered mail account
info, it found my mail again, but lost the mail accounts I had and the
settings for the summary page.
I not sure what files got lost/damaged, but should copying the
/evolution folder also back up the other settings as well as the mail?
If not is there a way to back up the mail settings?


I've since been having trouble with Red Carpet, it just hangs
downloading channel data (Ximian GNOME Desktop). Can I reset it or
something to get it going again?

any advice appreciated

cheers,
danny
