Thank God for SuSE! I had SuSE 11.x running on my notebook. Copied the entire directory tree over to my USB drive from my desktop running Ubuntu. It appears there were several directories that Evolution gave bad names to. I actually needed those messages too!
Created a new account in Evolution under SuSE, then copied directory tree from USB drive to home folder on SuSE. I'm able to function again! I nuked the .evolution directory on my workstation, restarted Evolution, shut evolution down, then copied the directory tree from USB to home folder on Ubuntu. I'm able to function here now as well...sans the folders with messages I really needed. Roland On Nov 6, 9:21 am, yyyc186 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I didn't retain any files.
