Happened to me, too. Evo unpacked about 2gb of mails, but forgot the accounts, settings, etc. The "local inbox" (I don't use it) was restored successfully.
I'd expected Evolution to restore my settings and account information. All the mail is on IMAP servers anyways. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1055973 Title: Evolution 3.6.0 - Restore from backup fails Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Just installed Evolution 3.6.0 on Ubuntu and (with the first-run dialog) restored my data from a backup (made with Evolution 3.4, Debian). Evolution restarted and presented me with the firts-run dialog again (and kept doing that). I manually entered an email account to proceed to the program: My contacts were restored, only 1 of 3 calendars ('personal') was restored and only the manually entered email account was present (but emails are restored). So it appears that email data are restored, but not the accounts. And only the default 'personal' calendar is restored, not additional calendars.
