1. What about creating the compressed backup file, "evolution-backup.tar.gz"? I thought that was looking like a wonderful approach. The new evo won't be able to import that? 2. Re your suggestion above, do you mean just drag the mail folders one at a time and literally drop them into my gmail account? Where in the gmail account window do I drop them? As for the size of the mail folders, most may contain around 150-200 emails. A few have 500-700 mails, still fewer have ~1500 mails. My outbox, on the other hand has 14,600 emails in it. Once I have them in the gmail account, the new evo will import them from there? Is it that one selects something like "Import from IMAP server"?
