Re: [Evolution] New Emails not showing

["Netsol.link" <netsol netgate link>]

Ok an other way (a bit radical but should work) is to save the inbox and all the sub-folders (i have a lot) as mbox and on the receiving computer delete all the emails in the inbox and all the sub-folders and their content, empty trash and then import the mbox. not sure if I should also delete the 'send' folder as I'm not sure if it would be included in the mbox? Or I use webmail to trim down the emails to just those that I want to keep and then I can download the ones to keep from my devices (they all setup to leave mail on server). Only problem is that I have 6 emails so have to login/logout 6 times!

OK, I should have said this - if you are going to export mail from the

other version, don't import the mail because you will also get lots of

duplications because you already have some of the mail. 

If you export as mbox, then on the system you are moving things to,

create a new account of type "Standard Unix mbox spool file" and point

it to the exported mbox. You can then copy & paste over into your inbox

all the messages you are missing.

(When you create a new account, put in a fake email address because it

requires that as a label, and untick the "Lookup mail server" otherwise

you'll have to wait ages for it to time out. You can delete the account

once you're done with it.)
