Folks,
I have bought a new laptop ... ta-da! I have new linux and EVO
installed and running. (That is how I'm writing this.)
I have an old laptop. I made a tar-ball of $HOME/..., moved it to
the new workstation, and unpacked the tar-ball as $HOME/oldeHOME/...
>From there I can pick and choose the files and folders I want and
discard the rest where that makes sense.
I want to make my olde EVO files and folders and messages available
to my new EVO.
Can I click-click in the new EVO and point to the folders of my restored
tar-ball?
Do I need to copy files around first? Clearly, my emphasis is messages
and contacts
over configuration and settings.
** The new edition is v3.2.2 under Linux Mint-12 with Cinnamon.
[From the help file for the running edition of EVO...]
If you run Evolution 2.32.0 or later, data will be stored according
to the
XDG Base Directory Specification. By default this means:
The user's data files
$HOME/.local/share/evolution
Various configuration and state files
$HOME/.config/evolution
Disposable data caches
$HOME/.cache/evolution
Configuration settings in GConf
$HOME/.gconf/apps/evolution
** The olde edition was v2.28.3 under Linux Ubuntu with Gnome 2x.
I found files under $HOME/.evolution (in a dot-folder)
[From the Olde EVO FAQ pages ...]
Evolution stores your data in $HOME/.evolution, your account
settings in
$HOME/.gconf/apps/evolution and your passwords in
$HOME/.gnome2_private/Evolution.
The passwords are not stored encrypted, just base64 encoded. SSL
Certificates
are stored in $HOME/.camel_certs, and if Evolution crashed while
you were
writing an email, there could even be a file
$HOME/.evolution/.evolution-composer.autosave-123456
(where 123456 is some string)
Thanks in advance,
~~~ 0;-Dan
