Gnome evolution import address book from old version


How do I can import my old address book.

I think my old version is evolution 1.4

Before to install move from SUSE 9.1 to 10.1 I saved de folder evolution from my /home directorie

Now on evolution 1.6 its not the same folders organisation.

On my old evolution I had for address book:

evolution/local/Contacts
  • addressbook.db
  • addressbook.db.summary
  • addressbook.mdb
  • create-initial
  • folder-metadata.xml

evolution/views/addressbook
  • current_view-file:___home_stephane_evolution_local_Contacts_addressbook.db.xml
  • custom_view-file:___home_stephane_evolution_local_Contacts_addressbook.db.xml

What can I do with that?

Thanks!

Yes, I encountered this, too. Solution, for me: Stop all of evolution, including the data server. Pull over the addressbook.db, but do NOT pull over the summary. Restart evo, and when the data server starts, it will make a new summary. After that, I had success.
