I reinstalled (not upgraded) my system from Natty to Ocelot this morning. I had backed up my home, including the ~/.* folders.
I have troubles getting Evolution to work. Even though I restored the .evolution and .local/share/evolution folders, Evolution does not seem to realize that there are already a couple of gigabytes of files in 4 emails account already installed for it. It keeps asking me to create accounts from scratch.
I realized later that I could have asked Evolution to build me a .tgz before reinstalling, but it's too late for that now. I got used to the fact that copying files usually just work.
Does anyone know how I can make Evolution see what's there ?
There was one more directory to copy: .gconf/apps/evolution. This did the trick.
