Whether you meant to copy all directory, subdirectories and files such
as

/home/satimis(user)/evolution/local/*.*

and in case of problem after upgrade, all/some mails in their respective
boxes lost, edit all .xml files including "mbox, mbox.ev-summary and
mbox.ibex" back to new mail boxes created for such purpose.  What I need
to retain are only "inbox" and "sent" boxes.

What is "directory hierarchy"?

Kindly advise.

Thanks in advance.
