<p>Note that your <link xref="mail-spam">spam filtering</link> settings are
not included in the backup file, as these settings are not controlled by
<app>Evolution</app> and as developers of spam filtering tools might change
implementation details. If you use Bogofilter you will need to back up
the hidden folder <file>~/.bogofilter/</file>. If you use SpamAssassin you
will need to back up the hidden folder <file>~/.spamassassin/</file>.</p>
