Hi Dave, it took me a while until I found time but it worked! thank you here is what I did (to put it out into the public) :-) $ gconftool-2 --shutdown $ evolution --force-shutdown Shutting down evolution-exchange-storage (Evolution Calendar Exchange backend / Evolution Addressbook Exchange backend) Shutting down evolution-data-server-2.22 (Evolution Calendar file and webcal backend / Evolution Addressbook file backend) Shutting down evolution-alarm-notify (Evolution Calendar alarm notification service) Now I copied the following directories back to ~ from my backup ~/.evolution/ ~/.gconf/apps/evolution/ ~/.gnome2_private/Evolution $ gconftool-2 --unload evolution_se I/O warning : failed to load external entity "evolution_se" Failed to open `evolution_se': No such file or directory $ gconftool-2 --unload evolution I/O warning : failed to load external entity "evolution" Failed to open `evolution': No such file or directory Although the two error messages don't tell me anything and look as if it did not work, it did. I started Evolution and everything was there again! no import dialogue or anything... Thanks again -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
