I just upgraded from Fedora 13 to Fedora 18, and failed to successfully

make a long story shorter, I did retrieve all my old mail and contacts,
but I haven't been able to recover the S/MIME certificates I was using
before the upgrade.

The old version of evolution was 2.30.3
New version is 3.6.3-2

Can anyone point me at the right place to find the old certs and suggest
how to import them back into my current evolution?

They'll be in an old-style NSS database in your ~/.evolution directory,
which will want merging into the proper user-wide database in
~/.pki/nssdb

You ought to be able to use certutil's '--upgrade-merge' option for
this, but I forget the details now.
