Hi,
A colleague previously running FC2 has tried upgrading to FC3t2. Since
no GRUB entry was made for FC3t2 during the install process (only
Win2000 was listed, the newly installed FC3t2 was not accessible!) she
tried a new install erasing the FC2 partition.
She had backups of her ~/evolution folder and wants to migrate the mail
to Evolution 2 (having updated the shipped package to 2.0). The
~/evolution folder is copied to the user directory, Evolution starts and
appears to ignore this folder.
Has anyone been able to migrate their Evolution mail folders to 2.0 this
way? I can't find any documentation on this.
Try shutting down evolution, running gconf-editor, and browsing
to /apps/evolution. You should see two keys "last_version" and
"version". Try editing them to "1.4.6" (the version she was running
with the old data), and then restart Evolution. It should now try to
migrate the data from ~/evolution to ~/.evolution (it might trash any
data you've set up in ~/.evolution since the reinstall, though)
Does this fix it?

the GRUB issue. I realize I could have update grub.conf but couldn't be
bothered to work out the entry).
Thanks in advance,
Leon...
