Yes, you are jumping across multiple generations of the product. Internal storage has changed considerably [ it now uses XDG and SQLite ]. Is .evolution folder still around? That is where ancient versions of Evolution stored their data. "If you run Evolution 2.32.0 or later, data will be stored according to the XDG Base Directory Specification.
