There was a time (that I miss a lot), when you could simply copy ~/.evolution to a new PC and be done.
I found some instructions that indicated that copying ~/.evolution, ~/.gconf2/apps/evolution and ~/.gnome2/Evolution would be sufficient for migrating to a new PC. Unfortunately it wasn't. Most of my several dozen message filters failed with a cryptic error message (I no longer have the text of the error) and so I've given up and started recreating it all by hand. So is there a recommended way of migrating Evolution settings from one account to another? Most importantly filters. I've yet to have them successfully transfer from one PC to another and spending an hour or more setting up new ones doesn't rate high on my list of fun activities. Also, what is the benefit to using GConf? It seems like needless scattering and obfuscation of application settings, and I'm more than a bit curious what the payoff is. I'm at a point where I'm weighing whether to stick with Evo (which I prefer for day-to-day use) or bite the bullet and move to Thunderbird to help cut back on future pain when I need to migrate settings again.
