Upgrade to Evolution 3.58 does not import local folders

English Applications
1

Just upgraded Evolution to 3.58 (and Gnome to 49) as part of a dup to 20250925, first start showed a popup reading “Failed to import xxx.db and yyy.zz” or something like that (possibly folders.db, sorry for not having saved that).
Hitting “dismiss” Evolution started, current email accounts work as expected but some local folders where old messages were archived were not shown.
Data is still there though:

Tried to revert to Evolution (and dependencies) to 3.56.2 from Tumbleweed history repo, but it segfaults on startup (possibly not finding known pieces of Gnome 48?).
This is more a heads-up to Gnome users than a request for help, but suggestions or insight are appreciated.

Already reported upstream here issues/3152

I have noticed this, too. Evolution 3.58.0 now does not transfer mails from the service provider to my local evolution ‘maildir’ account.

Thanks for the heads up on that, just backed up my 3.56.2 version and settings etc. as a result ahead of an update, although holding off from that at the moment due to the Gnome 49 related issues that are doing the rounds at the moment.
