What is the best way to move my mail, contacts, rules, dates, appointments, accounts, prefs, etc.
Move your ~/evolution directory
Your home directories must be the same though (ie /home/thinker or whatever on both machines)
What I have done is just to tar the evolution directory. I have a samba server that I back this up to, so I run the following: tar -czvf /mnt/sambaserver/mailbackup.tgz evolution Then once the new machine is built you will move that mailbackup.tgz file to your home dir presumably and untar it with: tar -xzvf mailbackup.tgz This brings in all your old mail, rules contacts etc. Hope this helps, Vince
