Hi Mike. All of these log messages are just warnings about the codebase, which should be fixed but don't have any direct impact on the application (most likely) [1]. Although there are lots of scary messages here it APPEARS that everything came up successfully. Above you say "that isn't the problem", but you didn't describe what the problem is. When you start Evolution (without importing the backup file) what issues do you have? The important information we must have to start thinking about a problem is: * The version of Evolution you're using (not the version of the distribution or desktop). You can use Help -> About to find this. * The type of email server you are using (IMAP, POP, EWS, etc.) and any special/non-default settings you use with it. * A concise explanation of the problem you are having. All the rest of the details, such as which desktop you're using, what was imported, etc. are almost certainly not relevant (unless the problem is related to a failure to import etc.) It's fine to include them but please format your question so that the most relevant details are clearly stated up at the top, so we don't have to spelunk a long email of other details to dig them out. Also helpful is to use a subject line that encapsulates the problem you're having in a short sentence, rather than one that doesn't help us find this issue in archives etc. And finally, it's helpful to us as readers if you avoid complex/fancy HTML signatures, etc. and stick with just plain text as much as possible. And we do appreciate if you can trim your replies to contain only the specific text you're replying to, and not include the entire email thread in your reply. We have mailing list archives for anyone who wants to see the history, and including replies makes those more difficult to read. Evolution makes this easy: just select (with your mouse) the text you want to reply to and then hit the reply button, and only that text will be quoted in the reply. I feel like we got off on lots of probably-not-relevant tangents such as whether it's better to use a local IMAP server, etc. These are interesting topics but I doubt very much they're related to the issues you're seeing. Perhaps it's best to start a new thread with the details needed to address one specific problem you are having and see if we can solve it. Hopefully we can help!! [1] Just to note, you are using (if I recall correctly) a pretty old version of Evolution. The current version is 3.46. You are using 3.38 which is 4 releases ago. It's not going to be the case that these types of warnings will ever be addressed in that old version. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
