hi all,

before I updated to hardy (clean install) I made a backup of my hole home drive using sbackup.

now I want to get my settings back into evolution. I use evolution mainly as a address book and a calendar.

by now I did the following
1 started evolution and went through the first setup assistant
2 shut-down evolution using evolution –force-shutdown
3 copy the following folders to the new home dir:
    1.      ~/.evolution/
    2.      ~/.gconf/apps/evolution/
    3.      ~/.gnome2_private/Evolution

3 started evolution again, it looked like some things where there some not.


e.g. I had multiple address books and calendars but only the "Personal" ones are reinstated although I copied everything to 
my new home.

I don't get it, why is it soooo simple with firefox and thunderbird and many other apps but evolution not?


anyone help. I tried to import them but evolution would not accept the db file for importing. Do I have to update a file, 
change a config line...?

thanks sebastian
