I understand how to import my mbox files from Thunderbird and I
understand how to setup my accounts on Evolution, but I'm not sure how
to do both without ending up with duplicates and essentially mitigating
the entire advantage of having local copies to import from.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Here is what I understand how to do now
1.) Import my "INBOX" mbox file to some new local folder (e.g. fooBox)
2.) Add existing mail account (e.g. f...@bar.com) on Evolution.
3.) Move all mail from fooBox to f...@bar.com->Inbox
4.) After step 2 is appears Evolution automatically syncs with the
bar.com server and downloads all the mail I had in fooBox already. After
step 3 now I have duplicates of everything and had to wait for all mail
to download from bar.com. I can remove these duplicates, but this makes
the import step seem useless. Is there any way to avoid downloading all
mail from the server and use the local copies, but only download those
not present in the local folder so as to save a bunch of bandwidth and
time?
---------------------------------------------------------------
Here is what I would expect to happen:
1.) Create a mail account (e.g. f...@bar.com) on Evolution but have some
way to prevent it from automatically syncing
2.) Import my "INBOX" mbox file to Evolution in the f...@bar.com Inbox folder
3.) Enable sync for the f...@bar.com account
4.) Evolution checks the file list on bar.com and imports only those
that do not already exist in the local folder
---------------------------------------------------------------
Is there any way of doing the above?
