I too have this evolution migration problem. I backed up my settings on a Fedora 8 x86_32 paltform and performed a bare metal install of Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 x86_64 on the same hardware. Started evolution, started a restore from the backup, and it did the silent fail scenario.
Reading this report, I added the source for the ppa patches, updated my machine and stopped the background tasks ( # evolution --force- shutdown). Removed the .evolution directory and started evolution then proceeded to restore the fedora.generation backup file; again it unpacked the backup file, started converting the folders, then failed silently. I then opened a console window, and started evolution - again it failed, but I got error messages: ** jsc...@vserv:~$ evolution (evolution:19600): camel-WARNING **: camel_exception_get_id called with NULL parameter.

I am creating another VM now of Intrepid x86, to see if I can restore it to a 32bit Intrepid and then restore that file on my 64bit desktop. If there is a solid fix for this problem, and I missed it somehow -- please advise. Otherwise, I'm in wait mode. -- Conversion of existing mailboxes fails silently https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293207 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evolution in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
