If you really just want to transfer mail then: 1.) Create a new "maildir" account to some local folder. 2.) Drag-n-drop the messages from wherever they are to that new account. 3.) Backup that folder. 4.) Restore that folder over yonder. 5.) Add a new maildir account over yonder pointing to that folder. -- Adam Tauno Williams GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
