recover Evolution mail from crashed system


My ubuntu 10.04 pc crashed (hardware). The hard drive from the old computer would not boot in the new machine.
I am able to access the data on the old hard drive, and I was able to copy the .evolution folder from the old hard drive to the new one.
How can I get the mail, and contacts from the old hard drive to appear in Evolution on the new pc running Ubuntu 10.10.

I did not have an exported copy of the contacts and mail to use as a backup.

Thank you for any help.

Bill

Hi,

You need to copy the following directories/files in your home directory
to the new drive
Quote:
.evolution/
.gconf/apps/evolution/
.gnome2_private/Evolution
Then just start evolution


Kind regards
