Isn't it weird that they didn't provide a way to cover this situation.
There are some new experimental pluggins for backup and restore and I
have those pluggins on both installs. Funny thing is that it didn't even
create the backup file :-\ I will keep playing with that for now. My
email is imap so that is not the issue. The major problem is the
calender. Things like anniversary and first date and other special days
that I need help staying on top of are the major issue. Mission critical
application.

Thanks,
