2008-11-06 16:15:04 C de-Avillez evolution: statusexplanation I am building test packages for Intrepid with this fix. I will add a comment when they are available.
2008-11-06 18:07:49 C de-Avillez description Binary package hint: evolution I have about 1.5 gigabytes in mail folders. Everything worked fine under Ubuntu 8.04. I backed up my mail through Evolution's backup function from the main menu of Evolution while still under 8.04. I then installed Ubuntu 8.10, brought up the new Evolution and attempted to restore from backup when prompted to do so under the new Evolution. The app would unpack the backup file and then proceed to attempt to convert the mailbox files from version 22 to 24 (sqlite). The conversion dialog would show a progress bar which constantly stayed at 0% although the name of the mailbox file being processed did change from time to time so there appeared to be some activity (i.e. it did not "freeze"). However it took an extraordinary amount of time. I let it run for 15 or more hours. Finally I checked it and the dialog box was gone. I attempted to bring up evolution again and this time the conversion dialog box was displayed immediately and it appeared to try to go through the conversion process yet again. I let if complete again (another 12-15 hours) and attempted to bring up evolution a third time. Again, the conversion dialog came up and the process began to repeat a third time. I killed evolution at that point and am filing this bug report. Again, note that there was no indication of error and that progress bar constantly remained at 0% throughout. I tried to run gconf and set the version number of the app to 2.24.0 as I read this was a work around that some folks had luck with but that did not help. I am now without the use of my primary mail application and have had to resort to using the web interface to my mail account at my ISP. Any assistance would be appreciated!
