Seems a bit odd I can't just seamlessly move something from evolution on one box to evolution on the other - both the same version afaik tell, too.
I'd try copying the .evolution folder and everything beneath it in your home directory across to the new machine.
I agree, I have done it on kmail and evolution. Both worked flawlessly. Just make sure to check permissions on ".evolution "before starting evolution mail client.

This works for the email and addressbook contents. However you'll also need to copy ${HOME}/.gconf/apps/evolution/ if you want to get all of the configuration information as well.

Thanks for that Paul. As a test I transferred my .evolution and .gconf/apps/evolution/ directories from the work laptop to my home folder on the home PC and it's working perfectly. I can see why there's no import facility for Evolution to Evolution transfer - you don't need it. Cheers Pete
