That *is* enough. You backup and restore "your home directory" [not a cherry picked backup] - and it works. I've done it many times. > Yet someone, somewhere decided to change that and seems to expect that > every user of evolution has looked for a backup option (in the email > client? what?). Yep. A great idea for when you just want to backup or transfer the contents managed by that application. > Even when things did happen, such as a change from mbox to maildir, > there was a simple tool to run that would do the conversion. Where is > that tool for Evolution? The tools *is* Evolution. It just couldn't be easier. Evolution will migrate forward from previous versions - to a reasonable degree. And if you explicitly choose to use mbox or maildir - it support that. I just don't see what you are complaining about.
