Here's how to force migration: http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/evolution/2004-September/039343.html Be careful! This will overwrite all your Evolution 2.0.x data! This likely isn't an issue for you, if you did not change/add any vital data like Contacts, account settings or local mail. FYI: Evolution would have automagically migrated all your old stuff, if you would have restored the old (1.4.x) ~/evolution directory before running Evolution 2.0.x for the first time... ....guenther -- char *t="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; main(){ char h,m=h=*t++,*x=t+2*h,c,i,l=*x,s=0; for (i=0;i<l;i++){ i%8? c<<=1: (c=*++x); c&128 && (s+=h); if (!(h>>=1)||!t[s+h]){ putchar(t[s]);h=m;s=0; }}} _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
