Title:
  evolution migration problem after upgrade to ubuntu 11.10

Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  i have just upgraded to ubuntu 11.10.  after restart and loging in i have opened evolution to check my mail.  it said on start that it needs to upgrade to the new version of mailbox (or something similar).  i clicked on migrate.  it said also that it will keep the old folders that i can delete if i see the migration was done right.
  after evolution open, it downloads mail properly.  then i see there are weird folders marked with # and _sdb at the end of some.  i assume those are my old folders.  when i go in them there are subfolders and thus mail missing.
  since i have done a backup of evolution prior to upgrade i did not care much figured i will just add back my missing mail.  i wanted to delete these weird folders but an error message would come that these are not a maildir directory and showing it's path.  of course these are not this is why i wanted to delete them.  it does not let me delete.
  then when i answered a mail it gave an error message the first time, something to do with wrong folder format and storing to the local folder, or similar.  the next time i answered a mail it did not do that.
  please let me know what i should do with this or if you need more data or screenshots.
