Hi,

I was trying to migrate from Kmail to evolution and I found the following 
problem.

My mail folders are on a VFAT partition at Kmail and they work fine. I wanted 
to do the same with the evolution ones.

First I needed to migrate ALL my kmail folders to evolution which is VERY 
painfull as you have to go ONE BY ONE, but it can be done. (If someone knows 
how to automate I would like to know how)

The main problem comes when I try to access mail folders at the VFAT 
partition, the system complaints when I try chmods or chowns on VFAT becuase 
VFAT does not have owner or permissions AND evolution tries to do some chmods 
or chowns cause it gets blocked when trying to access those folders on the 
VFAT partition.

Do you know...

A) How can I change the /etc/fstab to mount the vfat so to ignore chmods or 
chowns intead of giving an error?

or

B) How can I make evolution work on a vfat partition where it cannot change 
permissions or ownerships?

Thanks in advance!

Jose
