Evolution fails to migrate data from old versions (2.26 in my case). The bug has been fixed upstream and released with version 3.4.4. As far as I know, this is the relevant commit: http://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/commit/?h=gnome-3-4&id=b5d60a4d5a5838f95f2bb71efc49e216c978cd60 (although I don't know if that is all that is required). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Currently I have evolution 3.4.1 from core-release. How reproducible: Every time (problem in upstream release since something like version 3.2) Step to Reproduce: Attempt to restore a backup from a version of Evolution older than 2.32.

Hi Friedel, thank you for your report. Can you confirm that this problem also is present in version 3.4.3 in updates_testing? (I assume yes, but if you can test and confirm that'd be most helpful). Additionally, do you have a datafile (if needed) we can use to reproduce this problem?

I just tested with 3.4.3 from updates-testing, and can confirm that it doesn't solve the problem. Here is the log for the 3.4 branch of evolution: http://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/log/?h=gnome-3-4 The fix was made just before releasing 3.4.4. The only datafile I have is my mail backup which contains lots of confidential stuff, so it won't be easy to share anything useful (it is also very big). I can try to test 3.4.4 from updates_testing as soon as it becomes available.

Evolution 3.4.4 also fixes memory leaks and two crashing bugs as well: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/evolution/3.4/evolution-3.4.4.changes Is it possible to package Evolution 3.4.4 as an update for Mageia 2?
seems the 3.4.4 version is in the svn so add the depends for the gnome update
Depends on: (none) => 7413
Manuel, I'm not sure I understand what you wrote. Is there something I can do to test an update?
yes sorry, it seems that evolution 3.4.4 (as you see here: http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages?view=revision&revision=291142) will come with the gnome3 update, that's why I added the bug 7413 as a blocker of this one
I support this request. I've been bitten by this problem two days ago... and I'm currently working on transferring my evolution mail backup to thunderbird because I haven't found a way to have access to it form evo 3.4.1 and I really need this access. Bruno.

Gnome's big update for Mageia 2 was canceled apparently. Manuel do you know why this update was waiting for the gnome update? Does version 3.4.4 depend on other gnome components that would need updating (thus making updating evolution difficult)?

Summary: Please update evolution to 3.4.4 => Please update evolution to 3.4.4 to ease migration from Mageia 1 (mail storage change)
no ideas, I was only hopping that the gnome update will had this one

This message is a reminder that Mageia 2 is nearing its end of life. Approximately one month from now Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 2. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '2'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 2's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Mageia 2 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. -- The Mageia Bugsquad
