[SOLVED] Move Evolution

capturts · 02-21-2018, 12:21 PM

I wanted to move my Evolution configuration to another computer. I simply moved

/home/me/.config/evolution

to the new computer. Emails seem to be fine, except I needed to re-enter the passwords, but nothing else is there (calendar, tasks and memos). They are all empty.

I realise now that maybe doing a backup and then restoring that on the new computer may have been the way to do it. But it's a bit late for that.

Permissions seem to all be correct in the moved files.

The files were on Debian but the new computer is Arch. They are both updated regularly.

Try this

Code:

$ find /home/user -type d -name evolution

but change 'user' to your user name.

Great, thanks

It was:

Code:

/home/user/.local/share/evolution
