In fact since Evo has supported IMAP since the beginning, a migration strategy for widely separated versions is to move the old mail onto an IMAP server, switch Evo versions, then just access it with the new one (or download it again if you really must). Pity this isn't so easy for contacts, tasks, filters etc.Blame me, if I'm a little off topic, but: Didn't UbuntuOne offer a service to synchronize - at least - contacts ? I did not yet have a look at how they do it. If they do it with simple file copy, it may be another way that doesn't solve the problem ... Is there any experience with it ?
No, the UbuntuOne service never made any sense to me. Evolution supports GroupDAV / CardDAV [in Evo it is called WebDAV] for contacts and CalDAV for tasks, events, and memos. And Evolution is just about the only client to actually support *attachments* via CalDAV for tasks and appointments - which is simply awesome.
