I seem to have managed to solve the problem (knock wood) under F15 - at least for now: I backed-up all my important evolution files and user configurations (~/.local/share/evolution, .bash*, .ssh, *.*gdb*, etc) and cleared all the ~/.XXX files and directories - including the ~/.config/ and ~/.local. Once I was done, I everything from scratch, including evolution (this time under KDE 4.6). As far as I can see, evolution is now working. (This was sent from evolution under F15/KDE). Hopefully I won't have to follow your footsteps and import/export my 700 +MB evolution DB back to Fedora 14. - Gilboa -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

I had made a backup archive using evolution 2.32.2 in F14. F15 installs evolution 3.0 - and it worked fine until I tried to restore from the archive. That seemed to work (including converting the database to a maildir format) but then the program just hung indefinitely when trying to fetch mail.

I have temporarily reverted to F14, where evolution 2.32 restored from the archive without a hitch, and am now copying and pasting all the emails I want saved into text files.

Reverting evolution to Fedora 14
Hello all, I've just upgraded my a couple of my machines to Fedora 15/x86_64 up from Fedora 14 x86_64. Sadly enough, due to large number of GNOME3 related issues, I'm thinking about switching back to Fedora 14. Here the problem: When I upgraded my netbook and fired up evolution, it automatically upgraded my evolution DB. Currently evolution is DOA - as I cannot send any emails without crashing it [1]. So the question is rather simple: Can I somehow export the mail DB back to a format that Fedora 14's evolution can read? (Assuming that I can recover the DB's, among other thing evolution crashes seemed to have corrupted the DB). - Gilboa -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
