I have email here working in suse 9.1. I burned the evolution directory to cdrom. On a second machine with Suse 9.2 I copied the directory from the cdrom to the home directory same user. Opening evolution in 9.2 did not recognize the settings etc. Is this something only performed at install? I tried import and it did not work. -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/

Version nos. of evolution that wrote the data and the one trying to read it? Also, after copying the tree structure from the CDROM, did you change the permissions to permit execute/write for dirs/files resp.? -- Arun Khan <knura@yahoo.com> Linux is a wigwam: No Windows, No Gates, Apache inside.

* Evolution's settings are stored in GConf like just about all GNOME apps - not in the evolution directory - that contains data * If you were using 1.4.x in 9.1 - that used ~/evolution, 9.2 comes with 2.0, which uses ~/.evolution - had you had your config in place I think it would have imported your mail just fine -- James Ogley james@usr-local-bin.org GNOME for SuSE: http://usr-local-bin.org/rpms Make Poverty History: http://makepovertyhistory.org

which folder?
Directory, please, they're called directories!

Copied it over still nogo. Perhaps its only done correctly at install time. Looks like time to borrow disks. -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/

Don't know seemed like it should work all you need are the emails and config or so I thought. Perhaps there is a translation performed when doing a clean install. So with the failure of these experiments Ill just do the upgrade. -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/
