Re: [Evolution] Re-configuring mbox

[Chris Murphy <clmurph castlebranch com>]

I just had to do this for changing smtp.  I noticed that gconf saves 
your original home directory in the evolution settings. So if you change 
home directories you have to reset it.  Using sed you can easily replace 
it or just direct the output from the first command into a file and 
change it by hand.  Make sure to back up the %config.xml before doing 
this, I wiped it a half a dozen times trying to figure this out.


gconftool-2 --get /apps/evolution/mail/accounts | sed 
s/oldlocationofhomedirectory/directorywhereyouwanttosaveto/g > /tmp/evo.temp
gconftool-2 --unset /apps/evolution/mail/accounts
gconftool-2 --type=list ----list-type=string --set 
/apps/evolution/mail/accounts "`cat /tmp/evo.temp`"
