I know it's perfectly safe to backup ~/evolution and restore it to the same place without anything breaking. Is the same true for moving an archive of ~/evolution to a completely different machine? Obviously the hostname and IP address

sounds good.
but the user numerical ID will be different.
evo doesn't care about userid's, but the system does - so you'll need to chown -R the migrated directory. also, you'll want to backup ~/.gconf/apps/evolution for the settings.
Can I expect this to work (obviously adjusting settings in evo as necessary once running) without and hand-editing of stuff first within the 'new' ~/evolution tree?
yes, with the chown exception mentioned above. Jeff -- Jeffrey Stedfast Evolution Hacker - Novell, Inc. fejj ximian com - www.novell.com
