[Evolution] Converting MS Exchange to Thunderbird to Evolution

[Eugene C Goosen <eugene goosen sita co za>]

Hi there.

I have "moved" to SLED and want to use Evolution. What I did was setup
Thunderbird on MS. I imported the MS files. I then copied these across
to the SLED Thunderbird. Then I copied the email files across to the
Evolution folder. All the folders were as well as all the mail. However
when I try and open the email it gives me the following error:

Unable to retrieve message
Cannot create folder lock
on /home/username/.evolution/mail/local/Personal Folders.sbd/Deleted
Items: Permission denied        

Any ideas?
