Yep I know; just a tongue in cheek bit of sarcastic rant.

Found several bug reports that may produce similar results, but nothing
definite. As usual there is at least a 95% chance that this is operator
error, so I don't want to file a bug report. As far as errors,
evolution does not report them, as far as I can find. As far as
'importing' files, those are imports of contacts, calendars, & stored
mails, etc. No issues there except that evolution will not import its
own .db files for the contacts list, but that's another issues.
Any other ides? And thanks for replying.
