If I'm understanding correctly your advice, the best would be to get
ride of the old data. And then importing again in a newly configured
evolution. If that's right, I'm intending to proceed the following
way :
1) Moving all the old "evolution" directory out of the way.
2) Copying back .local/share/evolution/* to its original location.
3) removing .local/share/evolution/mail to avoid the conversion bug.
4) Starting the new version of evolution.
5) Find in the GUI some way to import the old mail data.

Is this correct ?


        Hi,
yes, it is correct. Do you have actual backup created by evolution, or
you updated your old home folder on-the-fly? As mentioned earlier, your
current ~/.local/share/evolution is quite small, if you stored any
messages there at all.

By the way, run evolution from a terminal the first time you'll run it
after the play with the internal files, there can be printed some useful
information about failures and such.
