Importing Mail (Optional)
If Evolution finds e-mail or address files from another application, it offers to import them.
Microsoft Outlook* and versions of Outlook Express after version 4, use proprietary formats that
Evolution cannot read or import. To import information, you might want to use the Export tool
under Windows*.
Before importing e-mail from Netscape*, make sure you have selected File > Compact All Folders .
If you don’t, Evolution will import and undelete the messages in your Trash folders.
NOTE: Evolution uses standard file types for e-mail and calendar information, so you can copy
those files from your
~/.evolution
directory. The file formats used are
mbox
for e-mail and
iCal
for calendar information.
Contacts files are stored in a database, but can be saved as a standard vCard*. To export contact data,
open your contacts tool and select the contacts you want to export (press Ctrl+A to select them all).
Click
File > Save as VCard .
