Description of problem: I backed up my home directories on an FTP server, │ | before installing Fedora 18 (up from 15) and now │ | evolution ignored them, configuring email anew. I may have fixed that problem copying them by hand to .local/share/evolution/local/cur The problem may actually have been caused by changing locale for the user concerned to Japanese.

Thanks for a bug report. The backtrace shows a crash during UI drawing, nothing much directly related to evolution itself. There was filled a similar bug report quite long time ago, with no resolution upstream. Based on the backtrace, I doubt it is anyhow related to update issue, which doesn't mean it can be related, like some kind of memory corruption. I guess we can deal with this within bug #896725, which is about restore/update, or do you see constant crashes when using the Japanese locale?
opening evolution, at bottom of screen it showed "saving user state" many times, but just froze. backtrace_rating: 4 Package: evolution-3.6.3-2.fc18 OS Release: Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow)
One of the accounts which Evolution checks, was unavailable. Clicking 'Cancel' brought up the cancelling dialog, but program hanged, was still cancelling an hour later. Unable to kill with the window with the Close button, had to use terminal to find and kill the process. backtrace_rating: 4 cmdline: evolution core_backtrace: crash_function: _XAllocID executable: /usr/bin/evolution kernel: 3.8.6-203.fc18.i686 package: evolution-3.6.4-3.fc18 reason: Process /usr/bin/evolution was killed by signal 6 (SIGABRT) uid: 1000 ureports_counter: 1 xsession_errors: (evolution-alarm-notify:1695): e-data-server-ui-WARNING **: Keyring key is unusable: no user or host name
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
OK.
