So I killed all the programs and removed all the files in my user space and restarted evolution 3.4.3 on the new machine Did you try restarting Evolution without removing the files to see if it migrated the data to the new format? and downloaded files from my ISP provider. So far so good. But no files from before. Sometimes it is better to start from scratch and rebuild all the data - it depends on how many mail accounts you have, how your accounts are accessed and how complex your setup is. I'm going to have to do it at some point because I have crud in my Evo folders from much testing of various mail types, calendars, contacts and so on, and I have no idea which I can safely delete!

It's in Fedora 15, so the easiest way of accessing Evo 3.0 is to install F15 on a virtual machine and use that to do the conversion - but see below. If I follow what you said below, Does this mean that I have to convert 2.24.5 data to 2.32 data and then to 3.4 or is it just one conversion? It's more likely to work properly if you go in small steps - there was a big change in data going to 2.32 and a similar big change going to 3.0. 3.4 introduced another change in the way the configuration data are held. Evo can probably cope with a single conversion, but it is more likely to get it wrong. The safest way is to go to 2.32 first, then 3.0 then 3.4. Andre was saying that it should be OK to miss out the 2.32 step and use 3.0 to convert that data from the 2.24 format. It is unlikely though that the Evolution backup files will work from 2.24 (the tar.gz file doesn't just contain data, it also contains settings that need to merged into gconf as part of the restore process, that's why you can't just untar the file and expect it to work). So you need to upgrade your (failing) machine first to Fedora15 - after taking a back up copy of your data! Then use that to create an Evolution backup file that can be imported into 3.4 on F17 Is there a utility that someone has that might do this job? Yes, it's built in to Evolution - I don't think there's an official stand alone utility to do it, although someone may have cobbled together a script for it.

Is there a utility that someone has that might do this job? You don't HAVE to, but I think what Andre meant is the bigger the jump the bigger the risk. Migration routines are written to convert data from the previous major release to the upcoming major release at the time of writing. So if I wrote a new routine today it would convert something from the way it's represented in 3.4 to the way it will be represented in 3.6, and that's about as much testing as it receives prior to release. The theory goes, as the routines execute chronological order, the data undergoes one or possibly multiple conversions but should end up in the currently supported representation. But as time passes, old migration routines may bit rot and silently break. Case in point: I believe the mbox-to-Maildir conversion itself still works in 3.4 but the detection for when the conversion needs to run is currently broken because it relies on some subtle aspect of the startup sequence that has changed since 3.0. In my experience, one of the better ways to do data conversion is to write an independent program to do it. Name it something like evolution-convert-3.2-3.4. After enough time, you would have a conversion program for each version and they could be run in order. They could also run without requiring a full working Gnome/Evolution environment so they could be used to convert offline data.

Re: [Evolution] Data migration Evolution 2.24.5 to 3.4.3
I believe I have found a procedure to follow to do a migration/merge of data from a backup.tar.gz file from the old 2.24.5 version to the newer 3.4.3 version. The key piece of info that I needed was the format of the two different versions. Since I was only really using evolution as a mail system I could ignore most of the other files. I was only really interested in extracting the mail messages from the old version and saving them. Meanwhile I had started to use 3.4.3 so I had msgs that I did not want to lose so a full restore was out of the question. And the project became a merge of data from the old into the newer version. As I said before the prospect of upgrading the version on the dying machine was not available. I am in the process of writing a summary/procedure of what I did and how it works so that it can be done by those who suffer from the same problem I encountered.I will post those notes to this mailing list. I warn it is a bit long. But I hope it would help some. Thanks to those that responded and provided me the info needed to learn what I learned.

[Evolution] Notes on Data migration Evolution 2.24.5 to 3.4.3
Attached is the file notes containing my notes about the migration of Evolution data from 2.24.5 to 3.4.3. The basics of this file is the procedure to migrate data (not a complete configuration) from 2.24.5 to 3.4.3. The data can be merged into already existing data running under 3.4.3. The scenario I was under was; 1. I had an older system running Fedora 10 Evolution 2.24.5 that had an apparent hardware failure. 2. A new laptop running Fedora 15 with Evolution 3.4.3 3. I already had the new systems email up and runnning. 4. I was not using calender or other features of the Evolution on the old system. I hope this helps others so afflicted. I would like to thank those that contributed information to my search for a solution. This file is a set of notes about how I solved a problem migrating from an older machine running Fedora 10 with Evolution 2.24.5 to Fedora 15 Evolution 3.4.3. My older machine was dying a hardware death and I considered it unable to be updated or changed in any way. My new machine had arrived and I got connected to my ISP server using Evolution 3.4.3. So it went from a simple migration into a merge. I had mail already present that 3.4.3 new about and mail that was valued from the old machine. While the old machine was working I got Evolution 2.24.5 to perform a backup into a local file evolution-backup.tar.gz That file was moved to the new machine using one of those USB flash drives. What follows is a procedure/dialog about how to get various message folders from the backup of the old 2.24.5 data into the area of the new 3.4.3 system. First some symbols I used OLDEVOL=$HOME/mytest/old/.evolution/mail/local NEWEVOL=$HOME/.local/share/evolution/mail/local TMPEVOL=$HOME/mytest/new Place that backup file in your home dir from my flash drive $HOME/evolution-backup.tar.gz So as to reduce vulnerability I did a backup of 3.4.3 and set it aside. Then I worked in a temporary directory called mytest This area would hold both the backup from the old system and converted folders prior to populating the new evolution tree. mkdir $HOME/mytest cd $HOME/mytest mkdir new old I placed the old mailbox system into old cd $HOME/mytest/old tar xvf $HOME/evolution-backup.tar.gz A quick view of the resulting directory was disappointing at first but I realized that the data was really visible at $OLDEVOL Each working folder for our example OURFolder under the old system was visible as four files OURFolder OURFolder.cmeta OURFolder.ibex.index OURFolder.ibex.index.data The actual email messages were found in OURFolder. As this procedure deals with selective restoration of a folder from the old to the new we will use the name OURFolder. This is the name it would have appeared as under Evolution 2.24.5. And ultimately under 3.4.3. We are going to build a temporary copy of the mail messages in our mytest directory tree. $HOME/mytest/new I used a perl script I found on the internet. The file was mb2md-3.20.pl It came from batleth.sapientia-sat.org/projects/mb2md It needs to have a TimeDate Perl library loaded. I installed a package using RPM. Sorry, but I cannot remember where I found it. I found it using google looking for Perl TimeDate The original mail mbx file is located by $OLDEVOL/OURFolder The new directory in our working Evolution 3.4.3 will be located by $NEWEVOL/.OURFolder/cur Note the . before OURFolder The conversion will go from a single file $OLDEVOL/OURFolder to a directory $NEWEVOL/.OURFOLDER/cur that contains files each with a separate email message. We will place the files in a temporary dir $HOME/mytest/new my nomenclature for this is TMPEVOL perl mb2md-3.20.pl -s $OLDEVOL/OURFolder -d $TMPEVOL/OURFolder The script will kick out some complaints but will do all the messages. No here is a find point to examine. The script uses a procedure to convert. I found it worked for my mail from my ISP. There is a option in the script to do the conversion a bit differently. So it may be necessary to read some of the messages and see if they make sense. Not really likely unless one speaks email header gibberish. take a look at $TMPEVOL/OURFolder/cur There will be many files. One per email message encountered by the conversion perl program. If it looks good. Now remember it is the raw message. evolution will change its appearance. NOW THE MOST IMPORTANT PART enter evolution create a new folder OURFolder Shut evolution down. copy the files from our temp directory to the 3.4.3 directory cp $TMPEVOL/OURFolder/cur/* $NEWEVOL/.OURFolder/cur note the . infront of the OURFolder in the destination directory This means you must get used to using the -a option in ls to see these folder/directories as you work with them. NEXT IMPORTANT PART enter evolution select OURFolder (the name we used) sit and wait select inbox select OURFolder the converted mail messages should be there
