Thanks for this link. I was easily able to create a backup for Evolution -- it is now visible as an icon on my desktop. Can someone advise me whether I need to attach this and email it someplace to save it? I'm assuming I can't just leave it on the desktop when I install an updated version of Ubuntu.
Any further hints that will guide me in this whole process of backing up and then installing an update would be appreciated.
