[Bug 874571] [NEW] Most of my mail disappeared from evolution

 

Public bug reported:

After upgrading to 11.10, the first time I ran evolution I was presented
with a dialog telling me it was necessary to convert the local storage
from mbox to maildir (I don't remember what it said exactly, but it was
something like that). Upon hitting Ok, evolution started and most of the
mail folders from my IMAP account were gone.  Now I have the following
on disk:

salgado@feioso:~/.local/share/evolution/mail$ ls
1202922324.4288.17@feioso  imap  local  local_mbox  vfolder
salgado@feioso:~/.local/share/evolution/mail$ ls ../
addressbook  camel-cert.db   cert8.db  mail   printing.ini  signatures
calendar     categories.xml  key3.db   memos  secmod.db     tasks
salgado@feioso:~/.local/share/evolution/mail$ ls
1202922324.4288.17@feioso  imap  local  local_mbox  vfolder
salgado@feioso:~/.local/share/evolution/mail$ ls imap/
