1. title Migrating from Evolution to Thunderbird

<<Include(Tag/ContentCleanup)>>

Introduction

This pages explains how to export your addressbooks and mail from Evolution and import them into Thunderbird.

Addressbooks

Export from Evolution

In Evolution, choose the address book you wish to export. From the file menu choose: 'Save address book as Vcard'. This will export the currently selected address to a single vCard (vcf) file. Repeat this step for every address book you wish to export.

Using KAddressBook

From the Help Documentation at the Mozilla Wiki is this solution using KAddressBook.

• "To import address book from evolution 2.4, first select all the contacts by pressing Ctrl+A. This shall select all the contacts. Now, right click and click on Save As VCard. Save the file with a .vcf extension. Open Kaddressbook and click on Import VCF file; select the vcf file you exported. This will move all contacts in KAddressbook. Now, click on export in Kaddressbook and export contacts as ldif file.
• Open TB, select import -> address book -> ldif file. Select the ldif file you exported from KAddressbook and let TB do the magic.
• Product version: Evolution 2.4.1 Thunderbird 1.0.7 KDE 3.5.0 Ubuntu Breezy"

Online Conversion

From the Help Documentation at the Mozilla Wiki is this solution using KAddressBook.

• "Some address book programs use a vCard format, which cannot be imported directly by Thunderbird. However, you can convert the format to others which can be imported by Thunderbird. One suggestion is to use a online conversion utility to convert the vCard format to LDIF, then import the LDIF format in Thunderbird."

Mail

Preparation

Create a new mail account in Thunderbird so there is no risk of affecting other accounts. Do this by selecting Edit > Account Settings > Add Account in Thunderbird. Select Email Account > Next. Leave identity settings as they are and select Next. Set the Incoming Server to localhost and remove the tick from Use Global Inbox, continue by selecting Next. Leave the Incoming user name as it is, select Next. Change the Account Name to something relevant such as Evolution Mail. Once the settings are created return to Edit -> Account Settings and select the Server Settings option under the Evolution Mail account. Take note of the Local Directory Setting. It will be a string like "/home/yourloginname/.mozilla-thunderbird/a2ti6rsz.default/Mail/localhost". This is where all mail is stored for this account. Now that the account is created and you know where to find it (you wrote down the path didn't you?) you can transfer the emails from Evolution.

Transfering Mail

Open up two windows to your Home Directory. Navigate in one of the windows to the path that Thunderbird has assigned for your email storage above. HINT: CTRL+h in your home folder will show all hidden files and folders so you will be able to see the ".mozilla-thunderbird" folder. Once you are in this folder you will see some files in there with names such as Inbox, Inbox.msf, Junk.msf and so on. In the other window from your home folder navigate to ".evolution/mail/local" This is where any locally stored mail from Evolution is placed. There are a similar set of files to what you see in the Thunderbird folder, Inbox, Drafts and so on. Copy the files named Inbox, Sent, Outbox and Drafts from the evolution folder to the mozilla-thunderbird folder (dragging and dropping while holding down your ctrl key will copy rather than move the files). When it asks if its ok to overwrite them just say yes. Its ok, nothing bad will happen. Its just a copy. You can trust me. Honest. If you have your mail folders organised in evolution under your Inbox there will be a sub directory called "Inbox.sbd" under the .evolution/mail/local/ directory. In that directory you will find files named the same as your folders such as Humour, Humour.cmeta, Humour.ev-summary, Humour.ibex.index and so on. Of course, this depends on what you've called your folders. For any of the folders you want to move to Thunderbird chose the file WITHOUT any extension and copy it to the localhost folder where you previously placed the Inbox and other files. Thats all there is to it! Open Thunderbird and you should see all your mail and the relevant folders under the "Evolution Mail" account. You can keep the mail there or move it around in Thunderbird. The choices are yours.
