Oh, apparently I'm mostly stupid. I forgot to copy in archive mode, so the ownerships and permissions were wrong. Only remaining trouble is that I didn't get back my account passwords. Are those stored somewhere else? Cheers, Simon "You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions." — Naguib Mahfouz ----- Original Message ----

Hi all,
I just upgraded my main system from OpenSuSE 10.3 to 11.0. I use evolution for my calendar and mail, and as I've done in the past, I made a backup of my home directory before doing the new install. Then I copied back the contents of ~/.evolution, ~/.gconf/apps/evolution, and ~/.gnome2_private/Evolution. I thought that was all I had done in the past, and that had been sufficient to restore all my mail configurations, folders, etc. But this time it doesn't seem to have worked. When I start evolution, it seems to come up as a new install, and starts taking me through the wizard to set it all up.
Can anyone suggest what I might have done wrong?
TIA Cheers, Simon
