Prior to switching to the Evolution beta last August, I had for several years run Eudora Pro, under vmware, using a samba share to store all of my mailbox folders. Prior to that I used Outlook. Too many times (in the dark days of Outlook) I suffered problems and lost data when something would happen to my Outlook database and I could only get at the data via Outlook (ugh!)
The primary reason I switched to Eudora was so that I would have access to my email information (and attachments) w/out having to go thru the email program. Eudora actually stores the mailboxes in an ASCII format and each attachment is stored as an OS file. It is exceedingly nice to be able to fgrep thru the mailboxes, open the raw ascii email file and view the headers, directly copy attachments, delete a bunch of attachments that I didn't want to hang onto, etc.. I would guess that similar functionality has to exist for the Evolution datafiles, but I can't seem to find any info on directly accessing them. My question is, what options exist for me to access the data in my Evolution system directly, w/out having to go thru the application itself?
