Hi everyone,
I recently migrated from Evolution to Mozilla Thunderbird and I must
say that I has been a really good move ;-). However, I have a couple of
problems to fix before finishing the migration; firstly, I can browse
the main folder in an IMAP server, but I can't browse subfolders,
Right-click on the account and select "Subscribe". I'm not sure about
evolution, but thunderbird allows you to subscribe to folders like they
were newsgroups. I'm not sure which imap software you are using, so I
just presume courier-imap ;-)
although I could with Evolution (and still can). On the other hand, I've
got loads of contacts in Evolution that I'd like to transfer to
Thunderbird without copying all them by hand.
In the addressbook go to tools -> import. There are several formats to
import from. Again, I'm not sure of evolution, but I do presume it can
export entries in certain standard formats (ldif, tab delimited, comma
separated). Export them from evolution in one of those formats, and
import them into thunderbird.
OK, the IMAP problem is totally solved, I didn't know Thunderbird needed
you to specify which folders you'd like it to read... I haven't solved
the address book problem yet because Evolution doesn't seem to have a
way to export all the contacts, so I'll try recompiling both Evolution
and Thunderbird with ldap enabled...
Thanks a lot,
Abraham
