[AuckLUG] Evolution email files

[Rick]

Thanks Ron and Vincente

I have done what you both suggested, and it always works, on everyone
else's machine but my own! the errors I get when I try to tar, backup or
copy apply to almost every file in the address and the mail folders.
Untaring such a backup onto a new machine results in completely useless
gibberish. I don't have any unusual file/folder names within evolution
and the program runs. It just won't let me copy the files without
errors. I have also chowned etc recursively to see if it's an
ownership/permissions issue. No luck.

Still, thanks for the suggestions!

Rick
