This is not possible with IMAP, cause IMAP is designed for mails.

But, you aren't using IMAP at all, do you? At least you justs planned to
switch Evolution *local* mail format to maildir...


As Calendar and Tasks are just plain text ICS files, they should be kept
in sync using Unison easily. The binary BerkeleyDB format of the
Contacts probably has more potential for conflicts, but it should work.

Now, if you have changed the mail format to maildir, you should be able
to sync your machines using Unison. Sync ~/evolution/local/ if you only
want to sync the data (mails, contacts, etc). Filters and vFolders can
be found in your ~/evolution/ directory.

Michal Fresel already answered this in another thread.


If this all works for you, please drop a line on the list for future
reference... ;-)
