It turns out all the read mail was still marked as read. Nice.

I don't know why, but an upgrade in Ubuntu usually means to erase a lot
of things you manually installed, and install a lot of things you
manually erased. Usually all the process download the equivalent of a
CD (600-700MBs) and break a lot of things during the upgrade.

It will not touch /home if this is a separate partition but the
default install is an "all in the same partition". So if you upgrade
and something goes wrong, or make a clean install, and you're not an
experienced user you will get your /home folder nuked.

That strikes me as odd, Ubuntu being a Debian based distro.

I recently installed Xubuntu 12.04 on my home desktop, and the new
evolution does not recognize the old configuration of my on-board
email files. I tried to import the mail from my old folder set (which
was completely preserved, but I also have it backed up), but it only
read in one folder and all
26 matches
