Hi thanks
You mean I have to first manually move the '.evolution' directory under '/mails/username'
then make symbolic of '/mail/username/.evolution' under /home/username/
ok, make sense, but is there not a way to configure Evo to save its files(emails/calendars etc) other then /home/username/.evolution, as we do in MS Outlook 2003, in my office almost 70 users are using Outlook, and we have configured the Outlook to save the emails(.pst) under "Z:\mails\username"
is it possible to configure the Evo to save its files(mails,calendars etc) somewhere else other then /home/username/.evolution ?

something along the lines of...
shutdown all users evolution
move all users .evolution to .evoloution.hold
for each user
ln -s /mails/john/.evolution /home/john/.evolution
ln -s /mails/ron/.evolution /home/ron/.evolution
...
for each user
mv .evolution.hold/* /home/$user/.evolution
or you can use tar rather than renaming and mv'ing....
