Comment 2 for bug 293207

I have the same issue that Peter has described above. I copied my 46 MB Evolution backup (made on Hardy with all the latest updates applied) to a machine running a clean install of Intrepid and experienced similar events to those Peter has described.

When attempting to start Evolution for the first time under Intrepid I used the application's initialization wizard to locate my backup and restore it. The result was a brief display of the following dialog:

followed by the silent fail Peter describes above. All subsequent attempts to start Evolution have failed in the same way. The dialog box visible in the image above flashes (very) briefly, and Evolution dies silently. This issue has persisted across system restarts and I'm currently unable to start the Evolution client.

I have the latest Intrepid updates installed as of the time (BST) and date visible in the system tray in the image.

Regards to all

(PS. Having no access to my mail, calendar or contacts under Intrepid means that the "Importance" status of this issue is definitely high, if not critical, for me.)
