Re: [Evolution] Importing Mail and Contacts from Thunderbird

[timzak <tzakharov charter net>]

I would suggest your last idea of not importing, at least to start.  Start
from scratch with Evolution and refer back to old email by loading up Tbird. 
Do this for one month.  If you are happy enough with Evo to switch over,
then there are methods for importing emails.  I don't have any links handy,
but search Google with keywords "evolution+thunderbird+import".  There are a
number of howtos on the web to help you out.  I actually used one to
transfer my emails from Evolution TO Thunderbird, flawlessly.

Good luck.
