Sorry, 

        I am dealing exclusively with Evolution. Currently 3.2.3 from Ubuntu
12.04. I have been using evolution for several years. It is the email
client that I dislike the least. 
        I have numerous oddball problems that I expect will all disappear -
at-least for a while, with a clean install. I was not looking to address
each of those problems, Just figure out how to do a clean re-install
while preserving my configuration, with the least amount of pain. 
        I have tried Evolutions backup/restore. That did not fix any old
problems but did create some new ones.
