[Mageia-discuss] Evolution upgrade pain(?)

[Daniel]

Hello all, 
I'm taking the time this break to upgrade my main computer from mageia 1 
to mageia 2. I have not actually started the upgrade yet, but right now I 
am in the process of testing things to ensure that I will have a smooth 
upgrade. 

A long story short. 
I have copied .local/share/evolution from my main machine to a different 
machine running mageia 2. Firing up evolution I find no mails, no folders.

I read on http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=88648 that I 
will need to convert each folder manually  to some new format. I try one 
folder and it works.

I tried this on one folder and it seemed to work. So my questions are
1. will this conversion be done automatically during an upgrade?
2. If not, do I have to manually convert each and every through this 
manual process to the new format?

please help me!
regards
Daniel
