Re: [Evolution] Migrating data from Evolution 2.28 to 3.6

[Peter Meyer <petermeyer69 gmail com>]

Hi Andre:

The conversion does not work.  I attempt the restore and the too 
"studies" the file for a while before asking if I want to restore the 
backup.  I indicate yes.  It then proceeds to convert the file. I then 
end up with an an evolution session that is completely reset and asks me 
if I want to restore session.

I have also attempted to copy the .evolution folder to the new machine 
and start evolution 3.6 on the new machine.  It does not see the 
contents of the .evolution/mail/local/* folders

What I really want to to be able to move my 2.28 files to the newer 
evolution 3.6 environment.  I would ok doing single folder/.sdb imports 
into evolution 3.6.

Thoughts?

Peter
