I only have one instance of evolution and one dev box. The old Inbox/Outbox files are backed up and I have no way of opening them up in evolution right now. They won't import. Yet, they weren't changed during the upgrade to 12.04 (I checked modification dates).
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STOP REFERENCING *UBUNTU* RELEASE NUMBERS. THESE MEAN NOTHING WHAT-SO-EVER. State the version of *Evolution*. I have NO CLUE what version of Evolution ships with whatever 12.04 is, or what shipped in whatever their previous release. awilliam linux-nysu:~> rpm -q evolution evolution-3.2.3-2.5.1.x86_64 [Ubuntu's package management tools has some equivalent to the "rpm" command but they change it every other week (apt, dpkg, whatever...). Or Evolution's Help -> About will tell you.] If the version jump was large it moves the data to another location [XDG compliant now] so the old folders will not be updated / modified. The timestamps won't change.
I can't drag and drop messages if I can't open evolution with the old Inbox/Outbox files.
If you add a new MBOX type account pointing to the old folders you may be able to access and move the messages to your new local Inbox.
Evolution does work now, but I only have the emails that were sent to me after the upgrade.
