How to install older version backup evolution file in new evolution version
I had update ubuntu 12.04 LTS and wi-fi stopped working. I was not getting option to update to 12.10 or 13.04 so I reloaded new ubuntu 12.10. The new evolution mail was installed too. However evolution is not restoring the backup of earlier version. I am also not getting option to install older version of evolution.
How can I retrive the data from the older version backup file of evolution in any email systen i.e. thunderbird, evolution outlook etc.
Thanks,
Manuj

Try this
Make a copy of .local/
Open Evolution - Main - On This Computer
Select the folder you want to restore, such as the Inbox
Select (top menu) File - Import...
From the Evolution Import Assistant choose: Continue
select Import a single file - Continue
select a file name (if it's in Documents, click your user name then Documents) look for the file that only says Inbox (after
selecting it may take a while before you get you next prompt)
it should says file type Berkeley Mailbox, then just click Continue
it should say the Destination folder, if good, Continue
Then click Apply to import the data

It worked well. Except that I had older verion of evolution so had to save .evolution/etc.
Thanks
