Ok, its time to rebuild. Suse 8.2 Pro. I've tinkered with this machine
too much and I want a clean install.

Issue #1 - Keeping my mail.  Evolution is what I'm using (1.2, will be
1.4 after install and upgrade).  Where, or how do I, save these files
(Old email, addresses, etc)?  I don't see an export function.  Or is
this something that I will not need to worry about because I will not be
formating the /home and will be "reactivating" the current users (all
the old email and addresses will "automagically" be in Evolution because
the user files will still be intact.)

Issue #2 - Galeon bookmarks.  How do I export these, so after the
reinstall I can import them?  Or is this not the way it is done?

This is the first time I will have done a reinstall while trying to
preserve some previous information. Any other info will be appreciated.
