Fabio,

when entering the command :

sudo mv /home/gordon/.evolution/mail/local/folders.db
/home/gordon/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/folders.db

I got the message

mv: missing destination file operand
after /home/gordon/.evolution/mail/local/folders.db
/home/gordon/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/folders.db

By the way how does one copy paste in a terminal?
