Evolution cannot read or import. To import information, you might want to use the Export tool
under Windows*.
Before importing e-mail from Netscape*, make sure you have selected File > Compact All Folders.
If you don't, Evolution will import and undelete the messages in your Trash folders.
NOTE: Evolution uses standard file types for e-mail and calendar information, so you can copy
those files from your ~/.evolution directory. The file formats used are mbox for e-mail and
iCal for calendar information.
