There are services [like desktop daemons] which may have files open. And editing open files, especially if they are opened mmap, will make a mess. Why not do a backup/restore? If you open Evolution with an empty config, like the first time on a new machine, it prompts if you want to restore a backup file. -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:awill...@whitemice.org> GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
