I had backed up Evo as of yesterday so when I restored I got back most

Is there any way I can merge the rsync backup mail with the restored
Evo
mail
At this point in time, I don't even know where my mail messages are
kept. If Evo is anything like Thunderbird, you'll have a folder with
all your messages in it. There might also be a file that contains
pointers or other record keeping on each folder. What I do in
Thunderbird is to delete that record keeping folder and concatenate an
old mail folder with a new one and restart Thunderbird.
or is there a way to retrieve a days worth of read mail from my
ISP?
If Evo doesn't have information about that mail that is on the ISP
stored in a record keeping file somewhere, it will think it is new
mail and read it again.
Don't really know how Evo mail is stored, so this is only a guess.
Since you were able to rsync your Evo mail, maybe you can tell me
where you found it?
I rsync ~/.evolution which contains everything but the gconf
configuration files. I am not sure about IMAP; it uses a separate mbox.
If you are using a POP3 ISP service all mail is stored in
~/.evolution/mail/local/inbox and other message filtered accounts.
