Re: [Evolution] Restoring Evolution Settings

[Not Zed <notzed ximian com>]

You forgot to backup the .gconf directory as well, this is where these settings are stored.

There are some registry keys (/apps/evolution/mai;/signatures?) you can play with regarding signatures, or just create the right amount and copy over the other files onto the same names.

I don't know about contacts, i've tried editing the gconf keys but had no luck whatsoever for that or calendars.
