I would like to be able to copy files from Evolution that I use as my mail client and bookmarks from Firefox from my current PC to the new PC. Please help, what is the best way or a not very knowledgeable computer person to do this? Thanks in advance for your help.

All these files are hidden, so you will need to do View>Show Hidden Files (Ctrl+H) to show them. Then copy them onto your home folder on the new machine, in their original state.
