I'm afraid I know virtually nothing about Exchange, never having used
it. Others would be better placed to answer this. However I imagine
it's possible in theory that this could be happening.

In my personal setup I do server-side filtering (using Gmail and IMAP)
so this issue doesn't arise.

[Evolution] Backing up Evolution Data

2015-09-04 Thread Dennis Reichel
What are the best practices for backing up Evolution data? 

Though these are (mostly) general sorts of questions, I'm using
Evolution 3.16.5 on Fedora 22.

What specifically is backed up when you back up you "Backup Evolution
Data.."?

What can be done to ensure the entire email base is both downloaded
from the imap servers
and included in the backup archives?

Are contacts backed up? (including Google Contacts and CardDav
contacts)

How does this handle accounts that are created by "Gnome's Online
Account service"?

What happens if this backup is restored on a non-Gnome Linux machine?

Many Thanks

I just back up my home directory. If you want more detail then look at
the Help topic on exporting Evolution data.

Same here.

Again, see the Help. It's important to realize that this is not
intended for regular backups. Its main purpose is to enable you to move
an Evo installation to a different machine.

Why would you want to do that? If your mail is on an IMAP server you
don't need to back it up. If you don't trust the server admins, then
download it yourself, either by dragging and dropping folders or using
the off-line synchronization option. Evo will not do this automatically
when you use the "backup" function.

No, you have to do that manually. See the Help.

AFAIK there is no special treatment.

> What happens if this backup is restored on a non-Gnome Linux machine?

The "backup" is just a tar archive of Evo's local directories. You can
restore it anywhere, but to use it sensibly you probably need an Evo
installation, which means at least some Gnome libraries. i.e. it would
be painful (though not impossible) to read it on a Windows machine.

Hi Patrick, 

I'm using Evo for work, it's an M$ Exchange setup. Since I have the same
email also connected to my phone would that also cause the issue to happen?
I don't have any widgets or processes reading the emails.
