Hi Pete, Thanks for the info - I have now managed to get the importing/migrating process to run (by resetting the gconf keys in terminal first), but it failed near the end and now Evolution won't run at all! As you say, you only get one chance, because I tried importing some files into .evolution/mail/config initially, which I think has caused the problem - so I'm probably going to have to reinstall Evolution - but how do I do that?!!
