Hi Pete, Thanks for the reply - I take your point! I'll try moving the Sent folder elsewhere as you suggest and see if that fixes the problem - great if it does.

I'm desperately trying to upgrade from RedHat 9 to CentOS 4.4, but the one thing that's really causing me problems is migrating from Evolution 1.2.2 (bundled with RedHat 9) to 2.0.2 (bundled with CentOS 4.4.
The reason you aren't getting much help is because these versions are ancient. The people who knew about them worked for Ximian, then Ximian was bought by Novel, and the people who worked on Evolution at the time have since been deployed elsewhere.
When running Evolution 2.0.2 for the first time, with Evolution 1.2.2 folders and files in evolution folder in same partition, the automatic migration process starts up and seems to run OK, migrating all folders up to Sent folder successfully. Then disaster - it terminates fatally (error message "..quit unexpectedly..." - no indication of what the problem is).
Try moving the Sent folder from ~/evolution and see if it upgrades everything successfully. Once you have the bulk of the system in place you can import the Sent folder later - it is just an mbox file afterall.
I've even thought about installing Evolution 1.2.2 in CentOS 4.4 (because it works OK for my purposes!), but there are too many problems with this - even though I have the Evolution 1.2.2 rpm, it won't install in CentOS because of missing packages. I really want to upgrade my main system to CentOS 4.4 for the improvements it offers over RedHat 9, but this email thing is a real sticking point at the moment.
Why don't you upgrade to CentOS 5 ?
