Hi thanks You mean I have to first manually move the '.evolution' directory under '/mails/username' then make symbolic of '/mail/username/.evolution' under /home/username/
ok, make sense, but is there not a way to configure Evo to save its files(emails/calendars etc) other then /home/username/.evolution, as we do in MS Outlook 2003, in my office almost 70 users are using Outlook, and we have configured the Outlook to save the emails(.pst) under "Z:\mails\username" is it possible to configure the Evo to save its files(mails,calendars etc) somewhere else other then /home/username/.evolution ? --- On Fri, 4/10/09, Reid Thompson <[email protected]> wrote: From: Reid Thompson <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Evolution] how to setup a different path of '.evolution' directory To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Date: Friday, April 10, 2009, 9:09 AM Muhammad Sharfuddin wrote: > I dont want to save the emails in the '.evolution' directory of every user's home directory > > We have an NFS server with /evo exported, under /evo there are directories for every user. > > on each client machine /evo(of nfs server) is mounted under /mails > > I want to save the emails/calenders etc under /mails/username directory. > > I mean want like the following > > /mails/john/.evolution > > /mails/ron/.evolution > > /mails/james/.evolution > > is it possible ? > > Regards > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > Evolution-list mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list something along the lines of... shutdown all users evolution move all users .evolution to .evoloution.hold for each user ln -s /mails/john/.evolution /home/john/.evolution ln -s /mails/ron/.evolution /home/ron/.evolution ... for each user mv .evolution.hold/* /home/$user/.evolution or you can use tar rather than renaming and mv'ing....
