OK, a cautious 'looks good'. Took quite a while. And except for a quite a few of these: (evolution:1675): camel-WARNING **: Cannot convert 'DEFAULT_CHARSET' to 'UTF-8', message index may be corrupt (evolution:1676): widgets-WARNING **: Could not open converter for 'X-UNKNOWN' to 'UTF-8' charset which i don't believe is Unison's or evo's fault, went very well. So I'm a happy bunny. A very happy bunny. :D Next project, get the relevant laptop networking daemons working only when connected to a LAN, so I'll go back to lurking for a while. Thanks all. -- Tony _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
