Thanks! It all seems to have worked without hitch-David --------------------------------------------------------------------- Here were the steps --perhaps they will be of use to someone else: With normal login: 0. Stored month old backup, copy of week old user directory, and most recent altered files outside the default login directory 1. Restored evo from the backup via the gui 2. Created an alternate user login account (a sledgehammer approach to avoiding the possibility of interfering gnome processes) 3. Logged out With alternate login: 4. Open terminal 5. su -i to original user account 6. cd to week old, stored version of .local/share/evolution 7. rsync -avz . ~/.local/share/evolution/ 8. cd to week old, stored version of .config/evolution 9. rsync -avz . ~/.config/evolution/ 10. repeat rsync for files most recently changed/added 10. gsettings reset-recursively org.gnome.evolution 11. dconf reset -f /org/gnome/evolution/ 12. Exit from su and then log out With normal login: 13. startup evo _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
