Hi,
that's just a state of your Mail view's left folder tree, located at
~/.config/evolution/mail/state.ini
in 3.6.x, though for your version it's probably
~/.evolution/mail/state.ini
I do not recall precisely, it is too old version for me.
Anyway, this file missing is not a reason for a new account creation.
I guess the disk failure (or what the reason for the move to lost+found
could be) took with itself also your configuration in GConf, where your
3.2.x has stored mail accounts. You can check the current content with
command:
$ gconftool-2 --get /apps/evolution/mail/accounts
It may return "[]" for you. Maybe your lost+found contains also some
%gconf.xml
files, where one has the path from the gconftool-2. It is possible to
restore the file, but it is not recommended to play with underlying
private GConf files, thus I'd suggest to rather re-enter your mail
accounts. I hope you do not have many.
Bye,
Milan
