This is being worked on upstream:

Still the same issue with 2.24.4-1.fc10.

This one is rather urgent for me; my wife has a ton of email in Evolution, I upgraded to Fedora 10 not knowing about this bug, and the mail cannot be converted.  I'm surprised it is priority: low.

Comment 4 Devrim GUNDUZ 2009-03-01 18:40:00 UTC
I could not move to Fedora-10 because of this bug. I'm really surprised that both Fedora and Gnome folks are not interested in this bug that much. This is a high priority issue that blocks migration from Fedora 9 to Fedora 10.

I have 8+ GB e-mail...

Actually, there was done some work by upstream people, see [1]. As they do not have some exact test data, it makes things harder.

What if you go to File/Backup settings and do a backup, then do a fresh install, or at least remove the folders before the upgrade.  Then do a File/Restore settings and see if that works?  You can even copy your folders or back them up just in case so at least you have a copy if it fails.

Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question? If you won't reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.

Comment 8 Matthew Barnes 2009-10-23 16:16:28 UTC
Closing as INSUFFICIENT_DATA due to lack of response.
