[ubuntu-uk] evolution
My wife, who is using Ubuntu 12.04, would like to make a backup of her address book and emails in Evolution prior to setting up a new PC. What is the best way to do this, please? She does not require anything else backed up and she has copies of all her text files on a memory stick. Thanks in advance Norman -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Not in front of a pc at the moment and I don't currently use evolution (used to) but isn't there a backup and restore menu option?

Re: [ubuntu-uk] evolution
Dear Norman I am not a maestro, but you can use the back up facility, which will save everything on Evolution. The format of the files are mbox, which means they are not readable by a text editor. I would only give you duff a explanation so do read the help pages and you can see the backup and restore items in the File menu item.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] evolution
I think you'll find that mbox files ARE readable in a text editor - because that's what mbox files are. Text files.
