Evolution 1.4.6 to Evolution 2

Shadzilla · 01-01-2005, 10:37 PM

Happy New Year All,
I have just switched Distros from Fedora Core 2 to Suse 9.2, I would like to copy my messages to the new Evolution 2, but it looks like the folder structure has changed. Is there a way to get my messages and contact list to the Evolution 2. I believe there is a backup feature with Evolutoin 1.4.6. I will look into it, but any help would be nice.

Thanks

Shadzilla

If I remember correctly, the mails in Evo 1.4.6 are in a folder at /home/[user]/evolution/local/Inbox/. So it should be pretty straightforward to just copy them.

Shadzilla,

I've just switched from Evolution 1.4.6 to 2.0.2, and all of my information was migrated automatically by Evo 2.0.2 the first time I ran it.

If it doesn't work automatically, the following process should work:
1. close Evo 2
2. open your favorite terminal
3. stop any remaining evolution processes: evolution-2.0 --force-shutdown
4. stop gconf: gconftool-2 --shutdown
5. restart Evo 2: evolution-2.0 --force-migrate

Good Luck,
Roy
