Evo 2.10 doesn't have the backup/restore function, which came in with version 2.12. However it's not that hard to do by hand, see: http://www.go-evolution.org/FAQ#How_can_I_completely_backup_evolution.3F and http://www.go-evolution.org/FAQ#How_can_I_transfer_all_my_Evolution_data_between_computers.2Fto_a_new_partition.2Fto_a_new_computer.3F poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
