Hello, To take a "snapshot" of evolution just tar and compress the ~/evolution directory (that's in your home dir). When you install Suse simply extract the file to your new home dir. Be sure that evolution has shut down before compressing a snapshot. This command should do it. $> evolution --force-shutdown -------------------------------------------------- I have a secondary question though: Is it possible to save the messages, but not the settings? I would like to save all my messages so I can go back to them (archive) but I don't want them to clog up my working Evo. So every month or so I'll export all the messages to another machine. An important consideration is being able to search through these archives and being able to add onto them monthly. Cheers, Chris On Tue, 2003-09-30 at 11:57, Anca Tibor- Attila wrote:
Hi, I am really new to evolution, so I have to ask such a basic thing, sorry. I would like to know the best (secure) way to save all mails and personal setting, including addresses. I have Evolution 1.4.5 (download from Ximian) and I am going to change from RedHat 9 to SuSE 8.2. Does somebody have some experience with saving issues? Thanks, Tibor
