FULL ACK, but regarding some pitfalls it still doesn't matter. For example, if you close Evolution before doing a backup and when the backup is finished you restart Evolution and after downloading some POP messages successfully, the disk drives fails, you still need to restore from the last backup, that doesn't contain the latest emails. A backup never contains the latest state, there is always loss. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
