Thanks Brad; I looked in the ~/.gconf/apps/ and find no folder evolution. I did have a folder ~/evolution which I moved to the new instalation. It has a folder called mail which has two folders one /pop the other /pop3 each hold my account configeration. Yet I didn't see a %gconf.xml in mail or either one of the pop folders. I not to swift with gnome configuration yet, I feel more at home working in KDE configuration files. I did notice though that nearly every gnome related folder has a file %gconf.xml. Yet my pop config folders are lacking. I'll have to dig futher and see why. Right now evolution is working showing all the mail and all the inboxes for each account, yet the pop configuration for those same accounts is lacking even though the config files are there. I'm sure it's just one or two small files I'm lacking. Thanks for your help though. I'll reply to the list so if anyone else is waiting to see where this goes they'll see your responds. >Sorry I could not reply back to the list, but I am on the road and the army >won't let me log into my cox email account.
