I always forget to use the backup function that evolution provides, but usually I'm fine with just copying the .evolution folder over.
I have a backup from ubuntu 8.04, and I'm now on PCLinuxOS. Both theoretically have the same version of evolution, just slightly modified by the packager.
Since on Ubuntu the user has UID/PID: 1000/1000, and something else for PCLOS - I just did a 'chown -R myname:mygroup .evolution'. I hope that's fine. Doesn't look like any of the files are supposed to belong anyone else but me.
but when evolution starts it puts out various messages that it cannot access the folders.
And rightly so - I can't even cd into the directories
