Hi All,

I sincerely hope this will be my last request for help for a long time.

I'm about to rebuild my system to a 32bit 10.3 install, and before I do so,
I'd like to back up my email and calendar, which live in Evolution.

I have, in the past, simply copied the entire contents of my home directory.
This worked fine when upgrading from 10.2 to 10.3. However, right now, my
home directory is corrupted in some strange way that forces a totally blank
screen after login. I've tried deleting the .gnome2 directory and letting the
system rebuild intelligent defaults, but that didn't fix it. So, combined with
a lot of troubles with 64 bit, I'm going to take the fresh install route.

So, the question is, precisely which directories and files must I back up
in order to have a full backup of my Evolution (while, hopefully, leaving
behind whatever has become poisoned)?

If you do not get an answer here, look over at the Ubuntu list, this
was discussed, and the specific directories were mentioned. IIRC
someone was doing a small app for this purpose.
