I have had a Ubuntu laptop for the last 18 months or so. I installed Ubuntu 11.04 which happened to come with Evolution and I was quite happy with it. I didn't upgrade from 11.04 until forced to because of known problems with VMware. I have just run the upgrade to 11.10 (because 11.04 is no longer supported) and got a message saying I had to reformat my evolution files.
I said yes to that and nothing seemed to happen,but I checked the system monitor and one of the four CPUs was 100% loaded. I found a posting on a forum somewhere that suggested that all I needed to do was be patient. That has been the case for nearly 24 hours now - I am not using the computer and just hoping to see a good result - but advice would be welcome. There is plenty of disk space - over 400Gbytes. Presumably, if I want to make use of the .tar file with my Evolution backup in it, I will have to re-install Ubuntu 11.04 to be able to do that? Will the maildir format be more efficient? - I have a large volume of email traffic and Evolution was noticeably slowing down in normal use. Hoping for help. Margaret
