But that's a serious issue as you are actually > losing email without any mean of recovering it as far as I can see... > Quite a lot as far as I am concerned :( I saw the message `Migrating cached data` in the terminal output and it seems to have to do with Evolution now complying with the XDG Base Directory Specification since 2.31.6 [1]. Please look under `$XDG_DATA_HOME/evolution` or ` $HOME/.local/share/evolution` for your messages. […] Thanks, Paul PS: I am having troubles with the calendar modules, see bug 615824 [2]. It would be great if you could test that too and report back. (You can import my messages to your MUA with `bts show --mbox 615824`, where the program `bts` is packaged in the package `devscripts`.)
