Can't import memos

Asked by Jeffrey Needle

Using Evolution 2.28.3 on a Ubuntu Linux 10.04 box.

I had saved my Memos to an .ics file before having to reformat my hard disk. I lost my Evolution backup in a crash.
I've just reinstalled the entire system, and everything seemed to work okay, except I can't get my memos back into Evolution. Trying to import the .ics file doesn't give me an option of importing into memos, only tasks or calendar files.

Does anyone know how I can get the memos back into the Memos area of Evolution? Thanks.

I'm sorry, but the feature hasn't been implemented into Evolution yet.

I know it is not current any more but maybe it'll help some people coming from a search engine:
I have just struggled with the same problem and I reached my goal by adding a „Neue Notizliste“= new memo list:

• second click on the existing memo list: „Persönlich“=personal
• first menu entry „Neue Notizliste“=new memo list
→ a new window opens
• choose „Eine vorhandene iCalendar-Datei (*.ics) verwenden“=use an existing iCalendar-file (*.ics)
• select your file and click „OK“
• now you have the opportunity to select all your memos (ctrl + a) and pick and place them in the first memo list
• now your new memo list ist empty and you may delete it with the right click on the new memo list and „Löschen“=delete
