I am about to re-install Suse 9.3 Prof. (it didn't fully install last time as a couple of the disks I made from the Internet download were corrupt or just faulty). I have managed to save my files (docs) etc., but how do I make a backup of my email messages and settings? I am running Evolution inGnome 2.10 if that helps.
Evolution keeps stuff under .evolution in your home directory. Backing that up is necessary but may not be sufficient.
BUT ISTR that's all I did when I upgraded last time.

Thanks for that peter.However, in gnome 2.10 on the Suse machine there is no such folder in my home directory (nor is there on on the Ubuntu either). This only place I can find anything to do with evolution is in the /opt/gnome/lib and /opt/gnome/share/gnome/. But there is so much stuff in those two locations I have no idea what to save.
In my home directory (Red Hat 9) I have ~/evolution (not ~/.evolution) which seems to contain all the mailboxes etc.
Ted.
