When trying to do above, like I sometimes do when reinstalling the box, I do below, but this usually only works for some reason on a clean install, not one that has evolution already ran once or twice. 1 - Don't start evo yet until you copy the dir's over. 2 - Copy your .evolution folder to your home dir. (This dir should not exist already) 3 - Copy your .gconf/apps/evolution dir to same path on your new box. (This box should not exist already). 4 - Start evo and except for maybe the name/email/signature initial setup stuff, your folders and contacts should be there. -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY "Best lil town on Earth!"
