Thanks Patrick, Sorry to post this again, but I only replied to you on the last message, and I want to post to the reply to the list... I have done that backup/restore and it seems the restore no longer works right. I have been using version > 2.22 for a long time and now am up to 2.28.3 on both machines. I have been going back and forth from these two machines for a while as well. (one is a desktop, the other is a laptop) It seems something has recently happened because the restore calls back all but a 3 year gap in one folder. A bit more info: * I noticed that for a quick moment, all the restored emails were there, but as soon as I selected one, it said something like "Message does not exist" and then all of a sudden all emails in that folder after 6/22/2007 were all gone... * The main account is set up as a "pop" account. * I have about a dozen or more folders set up with filters most folders go back as far as 2005ish * The "evolution-backup.tar.gz" is just over 780MB. Other strange behavior: I can no longer "empty trash" I get an "Error while Expunging folder". and there are a few thousand messages in the trash and growing. Maybe some of the binaries in the tar file are corrupt? Any other ideas? I tried the backup/restore a number of times with the same results. Thanks again. rick _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
