I used the rsync tool first. It grabbed all the mail but not the account info and settings. When I start Evo on the destination machine I am prompted by the account setup prompt, as though I'm a new user. I grabbed the mail data from .local/share/evolution. If the settings, etc, are store somewhere different I would be happy to learn it. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
