I need to transfer all my emails from one laptop (Ubuntu 11.10) to another (Ubuntu 10.04).
On the 11.10 laptop, Evolution is 3.2.1 with new email format. I forget the format name when I was asked to convert. The name seems to be ~6 letters long. Hundreds of files are in folder '/home/xxx/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/cur'. They have similar names. One of them is '1317082821.2435_1.roro:2,S' with size 9.6 MB. On the 10.04 laptop, Evo is 2.28.3 which came with Ubuntu and no settings were changed. So the format should be mbox (?). I used the menu 'Back up Evolution Data...' in Evo 3.2.1 to create a '*.tar.gz' file. But Evo 2.28.3 failed to read it using menu 'Restore Settings...'. The error was 'Please select a valid backup file to restore'. And I couldn't find other ways to transfer. Any comments are welcome. Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
