This is what helped me.
I had Evolution running while it was being upgraded. Working with it it
crashed. (Since it did not find the files, which had been deleted during
the upgrade.)

addressbook_migrate (2.22.0)
Looking at those error messages, it seems they are only thrown for IMAP boxes.
Then I quit Evolution and did evolution --force-shutdown and all old
messages were there. But wanting to read messages in the folder, which
was being selected before Evolution crashed, they are not displayed. It
says, the Inbox (path) seems to be destroyed irreparable (just
translated to Englisch from German). Wanting to copy the message string
no messages are displayed in the folder (again) although it shows unread
messages.
I do not know why this has not yet been reported or fixed upstream. That
really scares someone to death, thinking all his/her mail is gone.
So I request two things.
1. A user should be forced to quit Evolution while it is being updated.
2. It should be made 100 % sure, that no mail can be lost during this
process. Even those warnings should disappear, having been checked for
example if they are IMAP boxes (if my assumption is true). And the user
user should be given an option before the transition to SQLite to make a
backup of her/his data.
Thanks,
Paul
