I can see why there's no import facility for Evolution to Evolution transfer - you don't need it.
I adamantly disagree. This is just the sort of thing that is dead easy to implement but is very obscure for newcomers to linux to find their way around. I would submit this as a usability bug to the evolution team.
Point taken. For those of us who are used to just tarring up home directories to copy to a new machine or partition it is straightforward. Maybe a trivial little 'wizard' that tars and compresses the ~/.evolution and ~/.gconf folders then tells you what is the best step to take next (scp, write to CD/DVD etc.) would be useful. Sounds like a nice little starter project for someone - I'll have a look. Cheers Pete
