It should be made 100 % sure, that no mail can be lost during this process. Even those warnings should disappear, having been checked for example if they are IMAP boxes (if my assumption is true). And the user user should be given an option before the transition to SQLite to make a backup of her/his data. I think both points are valid, and it'd be convenient to add a NEWS.Debian file so user are warned at install that they should - make a backup of evo stuff (which is easy to do with the adequate plugin) - run evolution --force-shutdown *before* running the upgrade Thanks for reporting, this will be part of the next upload. (btw, as an user, I always do that before upgrades, just in case) (and I even more do that now that I'm sort-of maintainer) Cheers, -- Yves-Alexis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Even better, put in a break in the upgrade process displaying a big fat warning to give users not reading NEWS.Debian before or not taking this seriously a chance to make a backup. That's what NEWS.Debian is made for. I really don't think a debconf note would do the trick. I don't know if apt-listchanges is now at priority standard, but clearly that's the way to do things, imho.

Oh and, maybe look deep in the .evolution tree. There should not be any reason for it to delete anything. Upgrade only moves the *summary* to a libsqlite folder, not the mails themselves. The corruption may be related to the crash, but I'm not that sure. Cheers, -- Yves-Alexis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#519206: evolution: Inbox mail is all gone with sqlite transition
Package: evolution Version: 2.24.5-2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable Very bad what's happening. I recently imported all my folders from icedove to evolution (removing old ones to save disk space). After today's upgrade, evolution mentioned that it migrated folders to sqlite. I don't know if it went well, but all of the mail in my Inbox (years of mail) is no longer visible in the Inbox folder. I'm hoping that it's a bug and the mails are there, but I'm terrified because the size of the mbox Inbox file in .evolution/mail/local is zero.
