Hi Some refs that might help Not happy with this myself as I am using evo with F13 and F14 with the same home dir. I do not trust the db not to get confused if I leave the link below present when jumping between 13 and 14. End result - my folders have all been migrated across and I am only invoking evo in F14 at present John These are my words F14 evolution now saves local email directories in ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local instead of ~/.evolution/mail/local The first invocation of the new evo seems to move the contents across This means that when running F13 evo only "standard" directories are shown ln -s ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local ~/.evolution/mail/local enables F13 evo to see the original dirs but if the link is left there and F14 evo runs will the local DB become replicated/corrupted? Evolution 2.31.6 2010-08-02 --------------------------- These are google words http://softsolder.com/2010/10/19/evolution-2-32-email-folder-location/ Evolution now complies with the XDG Base Directory Specification [1], which means user-specific data is no longer stored under ~/.evolution. Instead, data is partitioned into three base directories controlled by environment variables: $XDG_DATA_HOME/evolution (default: $HOME/.local/share/evolution) $XDG_CACHE_HOME/evolution (default: $HOME/.cache/evolution) $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/evolution (default: $HOME/.config/evolution) Data which is managed by Evolution will be migrated from $HOME/.evolution on startup.
