Maintenance of 2.24 by "upstream" Evolution developers basically ended with the release of 2.28 in 2009. Changes that have happened in the meantime: With 2.32, Evolution started to store its data and preferences according to the XDG Base Directory Specification. Evolution 3.0 converted the default format from mbox to maildir. Evolution 3.4 uses GSettings/dconf instead of gconf for storing preferences. > I tried backup on old machine and restore on new machine. > No go. It appears that the data is totally different in organization. In case you used the "Backup/Restore" functionality of Evolution: It's very likely untested for such a big change in version numbers. My vague recommendation would be to install 3.0 on a machine and let Evolution pick up your data and settings to convert them, and then do the same again on a 3.4 machine. andre -- mailto:[email protected] | failed http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
