Re: [Evolution] export mail from Evolution

[Panos Tsapralis <my_suselinux yahoo gr>]

My setup is as follows:

* GNOME or KDE (I have never used it in WindowMaker),
* No virtual folders - around 30 filters,
* 7 POP accounts - no IMAP,
* Version 1.2.4,
* Red Hat Linux 8.0 (completely updated).

I believe that this is a fairly "healthy" setup. BTW, I trust my OS very 
much (with regards to stability & reliability), since it handles on a 
daily basis without any problems a mostly demanding piece of business 
software (SAP-R/3). This is a "clean" box: only necessary and stable 
versions of software are loaded and no beta or otherwise suspicious 
software gets installed / uninstalled.

Yet, Evolution crashes on my face on a nearly daily basis (especially 
its addressbook, as I said in my other message. Reading the messages in 
this list, I understand that crashing is not unusual.

I really like this program and I have not yet finally decided to drop 
it. Anyway, I'm gonna think a bit more about it...
