To upgrade Evolution, just get Red Carpet from
 http://ximian.com/products/redcarpet/download.html

and follow the instructions to install.

Make sure, you have closed all running Evo and run 'killev' as user.

As root start 'red-carpet', subscribe to the Evolution channel and get
all packets offered there.


Evo gets updated automatically (the old packages get erased), and you
end up with just one version (1.2.2).

Starting Evo 1.2.2 the first time will recognize your current
configuration. Though you should check all options under
 Tools / Settings


As you liked Evo 1.0.2, you will love Evo 1.2.2. :) Have fun...
