[Evolution] using evolution in multiple locations

2001-12-13 Thread Jeremy Hansen

What method are people using when they need to use evolution in multiple
locations.

I was a pine user, I decided to take the plunge, evolution is great but
I'm missing having all my mail in a central location.

Is there a way to solve this?  How can I properly backup evolution?  I
tried doing an rsync of my ~/evolution structure in a different place
and ended up loosing a lot of info.  I noticed contacts info appeared to
be missing until I killed some processes that evolution appartently uses
and restarted evolution.  Meeting info was lost though and I'm not sure
how to get this back.

I really really wanna use evolution, but I really really need to be able
to maintain info in two different locations.

Anyone solving this problem intelligently?

Thanks

IMAP.  I run Evolution at work, Evolution at home when it works, and
ssh-mutt when I'm away from both or my install breaks on an upgrade.

As to luck, there's the old miners' proverb: Gold is where you find it.

Hmm, so will imap take care of sub folders?  Honestly, I've not used
IMAP a whole lot, so I'm clueless, but I thought IMAP would just handle
your INBOX.  If I'm using filters to throw things in folders, will this
carry over IMAP?

Sure. You can create folders on your IMAP server and modify your filters
to sort into those instead of your local folders. Note that you can't
create folders within folders, just folders at the same level as INBOX
(at least *I* can't).

It owuld depend on what you want to do, and now manageable you want your
remote mail to be.  I use Pine myself, but with no filtering outside of
spam blocking, and dump everything to my inbox on my mail-catching
machine.

At home, Evo sucks everything out of the mailcatcher.

I should probably set up IMAP, would do better :)

I use uw-imapd on debian sid and I definitely can create folders within
folders. However, a folder can only contain other folders /or/messages,
but that's not a problem. Setup of uw-imapd was extremely easy, too. The
evo docs about imap setup however were extremely difficult to make sense
of, at least for me
