Because the newer versions of Evolution use Maildir format mail folders whereas the older ones use mbox - hence the single file mbox folders are not expected in .local/share/evolution > > Since, as I understand, there is no way to see them using Evolution, is > there another way to see them, and the messages inside? > Yes. Unpack the backup file manually somewhere, find out where the mail folders are in that directory hierarchy. Within Evo create an account of type 'Standard Unix mbox spool directory' and point the path to where your mbox files are. A new account will appear in the left hand pane and all your old mail folders will be under that account. Copy and paste the mail to wherever you want it and then delete the account when you are finished. All this has been discussed previously within the past few months on this mailing list.
