[Evolution] Bug#702360: evolution: cannot restore previous backup from 2.30 in 3.4 (squeeze to wheezy)

[Carlos Pasqualini]

Package: evolution
Version: 3.4.4-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,


   * What led up to the situation?
        I was testing the upgrade path from squeeze to wheezy
   * What exactly did you do that was ineffective?
        On squeeze i did a backup using evolution's facilities.
        On a fresh install of wheezy, i try to import that backup
   * What was the outcome of this action?
        The process seems to run ok, everything else is restored as
        expected but the mails and folders have not been restored.
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
        Having all emails restored.
        Or have documented an upgrade path for novice users
