I tried the export out last night and that picked everything up, but
then when I attempted to import it, Evolution didn't seem to recognize
it.  The oddity is that it Saves Settings to a tar.gz, but for Import
recognizes an Evolution CSV or TAB file (among others)

I wish Evolution would let me choose what exactly to export as well
(like choosing which accounts, or filter mail by headers).  I'm using
Evolution 2.22.3.1

Is anyone able to successfully import doing this?  A good DRP makes sure
test runs function, but up until now I've never really tried it.  I can
verify that the messages are in the export file so its not a total loss.
