What is the difference between the > evolution directory and the .evolution directory (beside the different > contents). The /home/<user>/.evolution directory is the user data, in a hidden directory. The local user config in /home/<user>/.gconf/apps/evolution and bnome2_private/evolution has the pop accounts. The /opt/gnome/lib64/evolution, /opt/gnome/share/evolution, /opt/gnome/share/omf/evolution/ are programme directories.

I have inbox emails I need too. That is why I leave my mails on the mail-server for quite a while. They all come again when a new account is made in Evo. The server has enough space, till the problem is sorted out. > > Anyone know how to validate/reset the .evolution tree without trashing > it?
