While the issue of IMAP v. POP has been widely commented, I have not seen
comments in the thread about the Linux Mint update procedure outlined here:
http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/2
The process involves making an backup of the home directory (for which Mint
provides a tool), which would include the Evo data. I would follow the Evo
backup procedure to try to restore later. However, the Mint update procedure
should be sufficient to assure that there is a separate copy of all data.
In response to a prior suggestion, I recently had to move selected messages
from one Evo installation to another and used the procedure described earlier
for creating a file and treating it as a separate account and then moving the
messages to "my" account. The approach works perfectly and is something I first
learned after trying Kmail . . . and discovering after the fact that it had no
export function!
