Thanks for a bug report. Was your previous system also 64bit, or 32bit? The migration between 32 and 64bit systems is not working properly for mail message summaries, unfortunately. The option is to close evolution (by evolution --force-shutdown) and start with an empty ~/.evolution; unpack there the files from a backup. Then go to ~/.evolution/mail and delete there all the summary and index files in all subdirectories (*.ev-summary, *.ibex.index, *.cmeta). Then change back your version to the previous one, by running these commands: $ gconftool-2 --set --type=string /apps/evolution/version "2.12.3" $ gconftool-2 --set --type=string /apps/evolution/last_version "2.12.3" Finally run evolution, which will create index files same as it was trying to do when it crashed before.
Correct, the old one was running on 32-bit Fedora 8 and the new one is 64-bit Fedora 12. I tried your workaround which worked perfectly! Thanks! Not sure if the bug should remain open (as others might hit it too) so I will just leave it for now.
Thanks for the update. I'm happy it helped you. This is probably a good candidate of a FAQ, than having opened a bug report for it. Thus I'm closing it.
