After my experience, I thought I'd also share how I got my email back
to a usable state, seeing that this bug makes it impossible to use 2.x
with your current email.
Suggestions exist on the web to start-up without an ~/evolution folder
by renaming it and importing the data, but I'm not keen to manually
import 2.1Gb of email.
Downgrading was surprisingly simple:
1. Add some source lines to /etc/apt/sources.list
2. Let apt do the work
This breaks down to:
Add these two lines to sources.list:
deb http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2004/08/17/debian unstable main contrib
non-free
deb http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2004/08/17/debian-non-US unstable/non-US
main contrib non-free
(That date is the last date that 1.4.6-5 was available in the debian
package system.)
Then:
apt-get update && apt-get install evolution=1.4.6-5
All it installed was that package and it all worked for me from there.
I'll add reports as I go if any other things come out to bite me :-|
