Evo gets most of its configuration info from Gconf, which stores it in a bunch of XML files under .gconf/apps/evolution/calendar. You could try synching these, but be warned that it is probably a bad idea to do this while Gconf or Evolution are running. I've adapted the following from http://www.go-evolution.org/FAQ#How_can_I_transfer_all_my_Evolution_data_from_an_old_home_directory_to_a_new_home_directory.3F On the source machine: 1) evolution --force-shutdown 2) gconftool-2 --dump /apps/evolution/calendar > my-cal-file.xml Copy my-cal-file.xml to the target machine. On the target machine you should probably log out of Gnome and log in at a console, then: 1) gconftool-2 --load /apps/evolution/calendar < my-cal-file.xml I've no idea if this will work. poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
