I've been using Evolution v1.4.6 on a RedHat 9 box for years and finally decided it was time to move to something newer. I've installed Fedora 8, which includes Evolution v2.12.1. I copied over my /evolution directory hoping Evolution would notice it on start up and magically upgrade it. No such luck. It did see it but immediately generated this error message:
"Upgrade from previous version failed: Failed upgrading Mail settings or folders." "Cannot get message: F6NNJE0.MSG from folder /home/rsr/evolution/local/old projects/mbox No such file or directory" The message file in question is actually named F6NNJE0.MSG:2,S and it's located in the mbox/curr directory rather than mbox, so the problem could be that 2.12.1 expects a different naming scheme or maybe expects the messages to be in a different directory than they were with 1.4.6. I have about 10 years worth of email - hundreds of directories, many thousands of individual email files. So I need an automated method of upgrading, I probably won't be able to manually rename individual files or anything like that. Any suggestions? -Steve _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
