Moving Evolution data to Thunderbird. Or trying to.

[George W. Tush]

Is it possible to export mail, address book and calendar data FROM Evolution and import it TO Thunderbird (version 2.0.0.23) with the Lightning add-on?

I will perform my deepest bow in honor of the first person who comes up with a working answer.

Thank you.

No need to export, just copy the mbox files and youre set... I did it and worked.

[George W. Tush]

Yes, indeed. It did work.

Venerable howefield, I now perform my deepest bow in your honor.

Many thanks!

Much as it pleases me to help you, do keep your bows for those who deserve it, eg, the author of the link I supplied.

I merely googled what you could have done in the first place. No bows for me I'm afraid...

Hi there
What about all the other folders in the Evolution folder, like .cmeta and .index I get loads of those in Thunderbird even though I did not copy them, looks incredibly messy. Why should this be sooo hard.
