This still happens for me on the released version of Ubuntu 12.10, with all updates as of October 20. The symptoms are as above - Evolution "restores" my 1.2 GB of mail and then starts the first-run dialog all over again.
My backup file was made on a system running Ubuntu 12.04. -- 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.
