This is a known problem, in the way old data was written by version
prior to Evolution 2.24. The only way you can migrate is remove or
move .summary and/or .ev-summary files from your .evolution/mail/. This
would let Evolution do auto-migration, instead of migrating from the
summary files. If you have IMAP or other remote accounts, it downloads
summary from the server. export FILTER_RECENT=1 if you have filters to
archive mails from remote, servers, as it might download old mails and
you don't want to re-archive them.
