I want to save my received emails, wipe the hard-drive, re-install linux fedora 8, and have my emails available from the same previous directory. How is this possible? I can't identify the files used to store received emails. Thanks in advance. I did this just the other day from these notes: http://www.go-evolution.org/FAQ#How_can_I_transfer_all_my_Evolution_data_between_computers.2Fto_a_new_partition.2Fto_a_new_computer.3Fpoc and it worked brilliantly. You could also tar your home directory and then untar it later. I chose to do both. But before tarring my directory I went through and deleted all of the dot files that I could identify as non essential. I chose to keep .gnucash but deleted .scribus because scribus can be configured again next time I fire it up, but I cannot afford to mess with my accounting package. If you want to keep your bookmarks in Mozilla do not delete the .mozilla file. I removed any isos for which I had the disks, with a view to making the tarball smaller. I ended up with 3.6Gb. What I would really like to know is how to empty the cache of images from html mail from evo. You may have to change some permissions to make it all work later, but I even had my signatures restored, which has never happened before. Go for it!
