Re: [Evolution] Migrating data from Evolution 2.28 to 3.6

[Brian A Anderson <BrianAAnderson q com>]

Greetings,

I am not a regular on this evolution email list but I had a problem much
like yours.
If you have access to the archives for this list I sent an email
describing my procedure that I used on 8/7/2012.
I was migrating from a Fedora system with evolution 2.24.5 to another
machine using Fedora 17 evolution 3.4.3.

My problem was I was doing a sort merge on mail at the same time.
But I think it would work for migration as well.
I have been told that if you just leave the data as is and start the new
version it will convert.  I don't have any real reason to believe it.

But I did around that time make it work for me.

new machine.

Let me know if I can help.
