Ok, fine > (search for > "Data storage locations"). "Data storage" explains: >>Evolution 3.6 and later stores its data according to the XDG Base Directory Specification. By default this means: The user's data files $HOME/.local/share/evolution Various configuration and state files $HOME/.config/evolution Account settings $HOME/.config/evolution/sources Disposable data caches $HOME/.cache/evolution Configuration settings in GSettings $HOME/.config/dconf << so, do i need to copy&paste all (and only) above directories from old machine over to the new one? Is doing so safe? thks cheers m. ps about your rant: Actually Fedora has been installed with a user account. This is my home (real) desktop machine, I have been logging as root for years, without any issue (at least not issues I am aware of). Is it really so bad? Anyway, I appreciate you care. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
