weird error restoring Evolution


Hi,

I install Breezy Badger 2 days ago and I successfully restoring Evolution that I back up from my previous Linux system. In my previous Linux system, I have user named 'knight'. Now with Ubuntu, I named my user 'samurai'.

When I send message with Evolution, I got this error ( in popup window ):
Error while performing operation.

Failed to append to mbox:/home/knight/.evolution/mail/local#Sent: Cannot get folder: /home/knight/.evolution/mail/local/: No such file or directory
Appending to local `Sent' folder instead.

How can I fix this problem? How can I change knight to samurai?

Thank you.

Hi.

Have a look in /home/knight/.evolution/mail/%gconf.xml

Near the top you should see: <stringvalue>/home/knight</stringvalue>

Change that to: <stringvalue>/home/samurai</stringvalue>

samurai@garfield:~/.evolution/mail$ pwd
/home/samurai/.evolution/mail
samurai@garfield:~/.evolution/mail$ ls
config filters.xml local pop searches.xml views

Any idea?

Oops.

That should be .gconf/apps/evolution/mail/%gconf.xml
