Local backups of an IMAP account don't make much sense - what Evolution downloads is nothing more than a [potentially very] incomplete cache. There is a backup/restore feature built into Evolution - File: backup / restore. Use that. Where Evolution does / does-not store information is not something a user should need to know and may change between versions. -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:awill...@whitemice.org> GPG D95ED383 OpenGroupware Developer <http://www.opengroupware.us/> _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
