Believe me, I tried to make the conversion process work. I tried it three times. Each time the conversion failed saying it failed to allocate 8 GB of memory. My lowly 4 GB laptop was not adequate for this conversion process.
Of course I was able to bring Evolution to a workable state by passing the conversion process. By the way I need Evolution to do my day to day work. So not having Evolution available for a long period of time is NOT an option. I am open to suggestions on how to make my Inbox successfully convert its summary to the new sqlite format. Any ideas? Anyone?
