[Evolution] Bug#701603: evolution: Data migration from Squeeze to Lenny fails

[Tuxicoman]

Package: evolution
Version: 3.4.4-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I used Squeeze and migrated to Wheezy through a new install (D-I RC1).
To bring my data to Wheezy, I first "archived" my mails from Evolution in
Squeeze and then use the restore function proposed at first launch in Evolution
in Wheezy.

The calendar and contacts were properly restored but no mail at all !
In fact Evolution in Wheezy is now storing data in maildir whereas in Squeeze
it was in mailbox.
So the workaround is to use the "import" function in the file menu, select one
file at once, select your mailbox file and this will convert each mailbox file
into a maildir. You have to repeat this for every folder you had in Squeeze....
