I have a backup of the hard drive of a system that got messed up and could no longer load a window manager. I'm trying to import the data from it to a new computer, and I am stuck at the point of making evolution work. I tried rsyncing the data into place in .local/share/evolution
but it doesn't appear to be recognized on the new system. I know evolution normally has a nice backup procedure available, however I don't have access to the original install to make that work.
The version of evolution I'm using is 3.8.4. I don't for sure know what version the old one was, but it would've been quite recent.
Can anyone suggest a process for getting access to this email data?
