PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STOP REFERENCING *UBUNTU* RELEASE NUMBERS. THESE MEAN NOTHING WHAT-SO-EVER. State the version of *Evolution*. I have NO CLUE what version of Evolution ships with whatever 12.04 is, or what shipped in whatever their previous release. awilliam@linux-nysu:~> rpm -q evolution evolution-3.2.3-2.5.1.x86_64 [Ubuntu's package management tools has some equivalent to the "rpm" command but they change it every other week (apt, dpkg, whatever...). Or Evolution's Help -> About will tell you.] If the version jump was large it moves the data to another location [XDG compliant now] so the old folders will not be updated / modified. The timestamps won't change. > I can't drag and drop messages if I can't open evolution with the old > Inbox/Outbox files. If you add a new MBOX type account pointing to the old folders you may be able to access and move the messages to your new local Inbox. > Evolution does work now, but I only have the emails that were sent to me > after the upgrade.
