The file structures are somewhat different between the two versions. Thanks for any insight. Well, since it's such an old version, I'd suggest, your user should start afresh with evolution 3.2.2 and import the old data using the import-feature in the new version. I hope this is not too cumbersome. It will be. The importer is quite limited when it comes to intelligent behavior / avoiding to specify the files to import one by one. Maybe, there exists a plug-in which can import more than one mbox-file or more than one calendar file. Well, or you could just save the old data into a tar.gz archive and use the backup-restore feature of the new version. 2.0 did not have any Backup functionality (plus only data without settings will not help), plus file locations have changed... I would follow the steps described in https://live.gnome.org/Evolution/FAQ#How_can_I_completely_backup_evolution.3F and https://live.gnome.org/Evolution/FAQ#How_can_I_transfer_all_my_Evolution_data_from_an_old_home_directory_to_a_new_home_directory.3F Starting Evolution 2.32.x should (hopefully) automatically transfer/convert the existing data to the new storage locations described in http://library.gnome.org/users/evolution/3.2/data-storage.html andre I'm having a similar problem.

Dear John, dear Adam, I ran into the same problem after upgrading to evolution 3.2.1 on OpenSuse 12.1 and KDE 4.7.2. After many (in my opinion useless) attempts to solve the keyring issue, I eventually deleted gconf, restarted evolution and set up my mail accounts. As expected Evolution created new config files and from then on everything went more or less fine. With or without seahorse or keyring daemon installed. I may be mistaken, but it seems Evolution does not override the gnome configuration properly. I hope this is helpful.

Hi, maybe it's this one [1], part of 3.2.3 release. The actual error means that some caller requested to open a backend, since then the backend is in an opening phase, when the backend refuses to do anything except of authenticating. If the initial caller either failed to notify backend about do not know how to authenticate, or failed to authenticate and didn't let the backend know, then the backend, as part of the factory process, is still waiting for the opening phase to be finished, by the client which invoked the open call. One of the above issues addresses [1].

Stef Walter has assured me he's working on a replacement for GNOME Keyring called GSecret that uses the same freedesktop.org standard D-Bus API as KDE Wallet, so theoretically you can mix-and-match the KDE Wallet service with the GSecret client library or vice versa. http://stef.thewalter.net/2011/09/introspecting-certificates.html?showComment=1317622996198#c5364051270673968069 As soon the GSecret library is available, ditching GNOME Keyring will be a top priority for me. GNOME Keyring is as much of a pain to program to as it is to use outside of GNOME.
