Hi All,

Could someone please tell me how to backup / copy all my e-mail messages
to an external USB hard drive?

I'm running Evolution 2.8.3 on FC6.

No doubt it's probably really easy to do if I spent a bit of time doing
some research, I just don't have the luxury of time right now so would
some kind FC user please oblige?

The same problem for thunderbird!


For Thunderbird.

cp -r ~/.thunderbird/{user directory}/Mail /media/{usb drive}

This will copy all the directories, all the mail boxes and all the rest of the information.

I have done this various times. I have even transfered mail between Linux and Windows and back but with permission headaches.
