I have a user in our company that recently was given a new machine
running
Mint 12. Previously he had been using a distribution that used
Evolution
2.0.3.
How can I migrate his data to the current Evolution 3.2.2? His older
version
does not support the Backup option. 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

I'm having a similar problem. Is there a way to import contact data
into 3.2.2? It seems that the import tool only works for mail and
calendars.
