If you had have left the 1.2 data in the same place, 2.0 would've just upgraded the data. It is not an import function, only an upgrade one.
If you just copy the mbox files to ~/.evolution/mail/local to the name of the folder.
e.g. evolution/local/Inbox/mbox -> ~/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox
If you already have a file there, you can just concatenate the other ones.
i.e.
cat evolution/local/Inbox/mbox >> .evolution/mail/local/Inbox
If you have a sub-folder, just create a directory e.g.
Inbox.sbd
and then put the sub-folder(s) in there.

Hi all - I just upgraded from RH 9 to FC 3, and while I saved my old evo-1.2 directory hierarchy I so far haven't discovered how to bring the older data back into Evo-2.0.2. Any hints? The importer doesn't seem to want to deal with it. I have recovered my filters, with the help of a quick perl hack, but the address book and the old mboxes are still lurking on my backup disk. Any hints about migrating them. I have, of course, already managed to put some new mail in the new evo's mbox files. TIA,
