How do I transfer my Evolution settings from one computer to another? I tried copying the entire .evolution folder, but the filters and account settings didn't transfer. I got some sort of XML error.
Evolution stores your data in
$HOME/.evolution/
, your account settings in
$HOME/.gconf/apps/evolution
and your passwords in
$HOME/.gnome2_private/Evolution
SSL Certificates are stored in
$HOME/.camel_certs
Now how to transfer all Evolution data between computers/to a new
partition/to a new computer:
Make sure you haven't started Evolution on the new computer/new
partition yet.
First of all, shut Evolution and its background processes (Evolution
Data Server, Evolution Alarm Notify) completely down by using
evolution --force-shutdown
Then copy the contents of
$HOME/.evolution/
$HOME/.gnome2_private/Evolution
$HOME/.camel_certs
to the new machine.
Then dump your Evolution settings stored in GConf by running
gconftool-2 --dump /apps/evolution > some-file.xml
where
some-file.xml
is the name of the file the information is written to.
On the new computer, make sure you are not running gconf, for example by
running
ps ax | grep gconf
, you normally have to leave gnome for that and then run
gconftool-2 --shutdown
Then import those settings by running
gconftool-2 --load some-file.xml
and log in to gnome again.
Also, is it possible to configure Evolution to delete read mail after xx days? It's a PITA to have to go to webmail every few days to delete from my inbox, but I look at mail (through Evolution) on 2 different machines. Outlook and T-Bird have this capability.
This is filed as http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201824 , feel free to CC yourself on that bug, as Shres is currently working on this (as far as i know). If you compile Evolution yourself, apply the patch that at comment #38. cheers, andre -- mailto:ak-47 gmx net | failed! http://www.iomc.de
