Recently Evolution asked if it could perform a migration, and assured me that a copy of my data would be preserved.

POP? IMAP?These were from an IMAP account.Which folders are still there and displayed under "On This Computer"?"On This Computer" has Inbox, Drafts, Junk, Outbox, Sent, Templates and Trash. All of these folders are empty.I poked around in ~/.local/share/evolution/mail and found a directory named 9d8ea32ba2403d0384ee571755fb07b1045001c2. Within that directory is all of my old local folders. How do I access them from evolution?Probably by moving them under ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/ if you are really sure that they were under "On This Computer" before. But before trying that I'd first love to see my questions above answered.I will wait for your response before moving the files. After I gave permission for the migration I was away from the computer for several hours. During that time there was a short power failure which caused the computer to reboot.andre -- Andre Klapper | ak-47 gmx net https://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/Thank you for your response.
I noticed something unusual in the left pane of Evolution. After my e-
mail accounts but before "Search Folders" there is a line "local_mbox".
When I click on it, it reveals no contents. Asking for its properties
brings up the Account Editor, but the account appears to be blank.
However, when I click on "Send / Receive" it appears in the "Send &
Receive Mail" popup with a file path that appears to be (from the quick
glimpse I can get of it) the 9d8ea32ba2403d0384ee571755fb07b1045001c2
directory mentioned above. "local_mbox" also appears in the dropdown
under "Send / Receive" after my e-mail accounts.
Just in case it is relavent, I have attached the output of "ls -al"
directed at the 9d8ea32ba2403d0384ee571755fb07b1045001c2 directory.
