3.58.0 (flatpak git) IMAP accounts only, Gmail and Mailcow
Finally got around to converting my Linux Mint to LMDE6 (wow, it's fast, and
love Debian and the blazingly fast mirror at osuosl)
Of course, the restore put back my messages and folders, but it didn't restore
my customizations such as custom layout views, font selection, which I put so
much work into.

Which of these files do I still need to copy to the new setup?
The user's data files
$HOME/.local/share/evolution
Various configuration and state files
$HOME/.config/evolution
Account settings
$HOME/.config/evolution/sources
Disposable data caches
$HOME/.cache/evolution
Configuration settings in GSettings
$HOME/.config/dconf
The old $HOME/ copy was Flatpak 3.5.8.
Thanks so much for all the efforts to keep Evo #1, at least IMHO. There I go,
raving about Evo again.
Bye!
