Re: [Evolution] migration to evolution 2.4.1



Hi Andre,

thanks for your answers.

I killed all evolution-processes, moved a copy of the old ".evolution" folder
and also the ".gconf/evolution" to my new home-directory and restarted
evolution.

evolution-2.4 creates a new inbox-file in ".evolution/mail/local" named for
example "Inbox". my old stuff (mail and subfolders) is  in ".evolution/local",
there is a folder (!) "Posteingang" (the german Inbox) and will not be
recognized.

Moving the "local"-folder to the right place is not helpful, because evolution
shows the right foldernames with subfolders (folder-metadata.xml,
local-metadata.xml, mbox, subfolders). Clicking on every subfolder produces the
error: "folder doesn't exist".

Only the mails are a problem. My Contacts are found in 2.4.1.


Cheers,
Raffi

hi rafael,

I installed a brand new ubuntu with evolution 2.4.1.
Before that I used evolution 2.2.?.

so i assume that it's a different system and that the old evolution-2.2
data folder ($HOME/.evolution) is not still on the evolution-2.4
computer?

I saved my home-directory to a seperate disk. But now the filestructure in
2.4.1 seems to be different and the new evolution can't import my mail.

the file structure has not changed between 2.2.x and 2.4.x, it's exactly
the same afaik. what does "import" mean? evolution just has nothing to
automatically import because there has not changed anything. what "seems
to be different"?

Is there a migration-trick like the one with version 2?

please tell us exactly what you did already. normally you just copy your
".evolution" folder to the new computer, the folder
".gconf/evolution" (it contains your settings) and the folder
".gnome2_private" (it contains the passwords). did you already start the
new evolution? sigh...

cheers,
andre
