RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2013:1540 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Low: evolution security, bug fix, and enhancement update 2013-11-21 00:40:51 UTC

Description Jiri Koten 2011-04-29 08:34:20 UTC 
Description of problem:
When migrating Evolution settings from RHEL5.6 to RHEL6, folders are not migrated. "Migrating folders" window quickly popups but close itself immediately, no progress is shown.
After Evolution starts no folders are displayed until it gets connected to mail server.

This somehow effects only i686 arch, because on x86_64, ppc64 migration of folders is successful.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evolution-2.28.3-24.el6.i686

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Backup client evolution settings on RHEL5.6 Workstation
2.Open evolution on newly installed RHEL6, and perform a restore operation for
evolution-backup.tar.gz created in step #1
  
Actual results:
No folders after migration.

Expected results:
Folders are successfully migrated.

Additional info:
Testing this should just be a matter of setting up some kind of IMAP account on
RHEL 5, letting Evolution download summary info for your mail folders so it has
data to migrate, and then upgrading to RHEL 6 and running Evolution.

Thanks for a bug report. This might be it:

> (evolution:4964): camel-WARNING **: Cannot load summary file: Success
> em-migrate.c:2961:migrate_to_db: failed to get folder infos

What architecture is the source RHEL5, please? I believe it's 64bit. The thing is that summary in RHEL5.x is a binary file, architecture dependant, so if you use such backup [1], then the pointer sizes doesn't match and a failure occurs. It's not much problem with IMAP accounts (in a sense of nothing lost, everything is stored on a server), but for local accounts, like POP or basically anything under On This Computer it is a problem (the summary might be recreated on the next start, but, if I recall correctly, it sometimes crashes due to this incompatibility too).

[1] backup utility is pretty simple, it just invokes couple commands at the background, it doesn't do any processing on them. It even cannot, as each provider or backend can use its own cache mechanism.
Comment 3 Matthew Barnes 2011-04-29 17:34:28 UTC 
Sounds like a dupe of bug #696881 to me.
Comment 4 Matthew Barnes 2011-04-29 17:36:36 UTC 
Oh nevermind, I see what you're doing.  Didn't read through all my bugzilla spam.
Comment 5 RHEL Program Management 2011-07-06 01:07:06 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.
Comment 6 Milan Crha 2013-05-09 18:13:33 UTC 
Jirko, would it be possible to get a zipped test home folder with configured evolution, on which the bug will be reproducible, please? If the rebase bug (bug #883010) will make it in, then it'll be good to make sure users will migrate without any issue, from both RHEL 5.6 and evo/eds-2.28.3.

Setting NEED_INFO to get Jirka's attention.
Comment 11 Milan Crha 2013-06-18 17:42:28 UTC 
The two problematic types are off_t, time_t and gsize, all differ in size.
On i386 they are 4 bytes, while on x86_64 they are 8 bytes. The main code resides in evoltuion-data-server, thus I move this there.
