Evolution 2.0.0 uses a new hidden directory, ~/.evolution. You might
want to backup your old ~/evolution data directory anyway.

The main problem is all local mail is stored in that different
location.  So if you use pop, etc, then any new mail wont be
accessible to the other version, etc.

Doh, forgot about that.

Sure, but be aware that POP3 will be an issue anyway. If you retrieve
any mail from your POP3 server without leaving them on the server (for
that test account), you won't see them in your main account.


The pop e-mails are actually easy to move over. Just move the mbox where
they are. may the markings, read, replied etc. will be incorrect but
that shouldn't be a big problem.

What about moving the contacts database? I wasn't successful with that!



IMAP.  That way, you can run any MUA you want, and all email will
be in one spot.
