Hi. I've been using Evolution at home and at school for years, and I'd like to merge the school install (not used anymore) into my home install. I've got the .evolution folder, but I don't see any obvious way to do the merge/import. Ideally, I'd like File > Import to ask me for the location of that Evolution folder and import it automatically. Is there another way besides the cumbersome manual import of the actual mbox files one by one ? Would a plain copy of the files mess the metadata ?
Yes, it would be nice. File a wishlist bug. The question will be whether it is a high-enough priority to get done any time "soon". In the mean time, this *might* be faster: 1. Make any new folders in home Evo 2. --force-shutdown home Evo 3. rm all the home *cmeta *ev-summary *ibex.index* files (don't forget sub-directories). 4. "cat >>" the school mboxes to the proper home mbox files. 5. restart home Evo. It will recreate the metadata files. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA PGP Key ID 8834C06B I prefer encrypted mail.
