Comment 9 for bug 197290

I thought it was good explained (perhaps bad translation cause I'm french)
I have ubuntu 7.10 and evolution 2.12.1
When I have the 2Gb bug I transfer all my .evolution folder ( /home/fgossart/.evolution ) on a externel hard drive formated fat 32.

Then I setup evolution for windows, and setup a new account.
in Windows XP, I can see now /Documents and Settings/fgossart/.evolution
So I tried to replace all the .evolution with the one from my Ubuntu stored on the hard drive

And When I launched evolution on windows, there was no problem reading my 2gb Inbox !
All the files Windows or Ubuntu are ok.
So on evolution windows, I create an archive folder and transfer all my current Inbox in this archive folder.

Then I put the .evolution from windows to linux in my /home/fgossart/.evolution.

I think the 2Gb bug is only on Linux, not on windows. It doesn't matter the release for windows is older, the files structures are the same
