mbox format

Email and Calendar, Netscape Version 4.7x, Mozilla, Eudora, Pine, and Elm use this email format.

.mbx format

Microsoft Outlook Express 4 uses this email format.

Vcard format

To import data, choose File -> Import from the Email and Calendar window. The Evolution Import Assistant guides you through the process to import data to Email and Calendar.

If Email and Calendar finds email or contact data from the listed applications on your system, the Evolution Import Assistant displays an Importing Files page. The Importing Files page displays a list of the applications for which Email and Calendar has found email or contact data.

If Email and Calendar finds email data for an application, a mail check box is displayed under the application.

If Email and Calendar finds contact data for an application, an address book check box is displayed under the application.
