Just to be really really safe, I'll reboot (before my step 1)!

Seems like evolution needs some evolution! Paging Darwin......

The 8 steps worked.
* Step 5, the importing address books part, was tedious and took a long
time. Some manual editing of the csv files was needed. But it got done.
* Step 7, copying the filter files had to be done slowly and very
carefully, as file paths were long and v-e-r-y similar but not
identical. Using the two Files GUIs really helped.
Bottom line: success!

For reasons stated in another thread, I will not upgrade to F31 until
about 2 weeks before F32 is initially released (April 2020?).
I thank all participants for their time and effort.
I'm tagging this thread SOLVED.
Now (well, maybe in a little while) I can go back to the "upgrade
problem: space on '/' filesystem".
Bill.
