[Evolution] How to move and merge archive?

2019-09-16 Thread W Van Snyder
I have mail archives on two computers -- one at work and one at home.
These are in my own filing systems, not on mail servers.

Is it possible to copy an archive from one computer to another, and
still see all the table-of-contents?

I do this by copying / synchronizing the full mail folder of the evolution directory between computers. My systems are Ubuntu linux and the  mail folder is in .local/share/evolution/mail/local. Carefully synchronize your folder from your active computer to an external drive and from there onto the computer you use next. I use the rsync routine with the following codes: rsync -rauv --delete /home/yourcomputerloginname/.local/share/evolution/mail/local /media/yourcomputerloginname/drivenameTo sync with computer:rsync -rauv --delete /media/yourcomputerloginname/drivename/local home/yourcomputerloginname/.local/share/evolution/mail--delete is used to ensure that any folder changes are incorporated in the copy. Best that you learn about how it works first because it deletes files out of place.__Bert
