Evo will recreate what it needs. If you're nervous, make a copy of everything first.

In any case, clean up the indices (in both directories) before reorganizing. poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

[Evolution] XLIST Support?

Is there any support for XLIST [the non-standard but cool feature from Gmail] in Evolution? There is now a patch to add XLIST support to Cyrus IMAPd [the world's ultimate IMAP server]. This would be yet another small step towards zero-config mail clients [this system administrator's long... long running dream. :)] <http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/morg/current/msg00212.html> <http://groups.google.com/group/Gmail-Help-POP-and-IMAP-en/browse_thread/thread/a154105c54f020fb?pli=1> <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=476260#c17> <http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/cyrus-devel/2009-November/001309.html> -- OpenGroupware developer: awilliam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <http://whitemiceconsulting.blogspot.com/> OpenGroupare & Cyrus IMAPd documenation @ <http://docs.opengroupware.org/Members/whitemice/wmogag/file_view> _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
