I don't want to backup them on a CD, but use gmail as a backup mechanism.
OK. Here's an idea: - back up ~/.evolution/mail/local/ !!!!! - get gmailfs working (left as an exercise for the reader) - create a folder and sub-folder - mount gmail under the new ~/.evolution/mail/local/ folder and sub-foler (bit of cleverness needed here) - recreate your folder tree under folder/sub-folder - drag emails to the sub-folder tree Unfortunately, the emails won't be accessible to gmail as regular emails. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA PGP Key ID 8834C06B I prefer encrypted mail.
