Re: [Evolution] Sync'ing desktop & laptop Evolution

Apology: When earlier I said 'sync', i really meant 'clone', not dynamic
               syncing between systems.

As a test, I have done just that, on an earlier installation of Mandriva
on this desktop.
  I then installed Evolution (though it was an earlier version there:
2.28.2), and started it.

At first it appeared to be ignoring ~/.evolution, as it required me to
define my identity and POP/SMTP accounts.
  However, it then opened up and showed me all the email folders and
contents, complete addressbook, message filters, etc., and performed
Send/Receive as normal.

That suggests that Identity and POP/SMTP settings are not stored in
~/.evolution, but I cannot find where.  Anyone know?

My ideas on how best to clone the email database to/from the laptop are
set out in another posting in here today.
  I would really appreciate the team's feedback on some solution, as I
would like to stay with Evolution rather than revert to Kmail.

Many thanks to all,
