Okay, that worked great.
Now, I would like to move a mail folder from one machine to another.
How does one do that? I have 3 different folders on my desktop machine
and would like to move one of the folders to my laptop.
When I look at the directory/file structure of the .evolution everything
looks encoded. I can't make heads nor tails.
Would be nice if evolution would allow me to import mail from evolution.
Is it possible to archive an evolution folder on one machine and import
to evolution on another?
If you are using local email storage then the files in:
${HOME}/.evolution/mail/local/
that have the same name as your folders in the GUI are just standard
mbox format files and can be imported into Evolution using the File ->
Import menu option.
============================
Indeed, I am popping my mail from a POP3 mail server and it soring it locally on my
system.
So for one of my folders I have the following:
${HOME}/.evolution/mail/local/WRS
${HOME}/.evolution/mail/local/WRS.cmeta
${HOME}/.evolution/mail/local/WRS.ev-summary
${HOME}/.evolution/mail/local/WRS.ibex.index
${HOME}/.evolution/mail/local/WRS.ibex.index.data
I will assume that file "WRS" is in mbox format.
Wow, that actually worked. So I chose "WRS" for the import and all is well.
Thanks,
Ernesto
If you are using server side storage such as IMAP,
just create a new account in your other Evolution instance and drag a
drop your mails to where you want.
