I just had a look at the two folders.  I noticed that some of the files
(like Sent, Sent.msf, etc.) exist on both the Thunderbird and Evolution
side.  Now given that I currently have some mail in Evolution (eg. I'm
typing to you in that at the moment) is this safe?  Or will this
override some of my settings / copy over the mail?

Thanks for the reply,
