I have this problem this morning with Ubuntu 7.10.
I was afraid to loose my 2Gb mails... no solution through web, or very complicated.
And then I have an idea.
I search evolution for Windows http://shellter.sourceforge.net/evolution/

So I setup evolution for windows on a windows XP computer.
I archive my .evolution folder from my ubuntu computer on a external hard drive.

After I setup evolution for windows on the other computer I created an account and I can see that in Documents and Settings/MYNAME there was also a folder called .evolution.
I replace this one with the other from my hard drive (ubuntu's)

Windows evolution can read my 2Gb Inbox file !
So I create some indiviual archives.

Then I tried to copy all windows .evolution folder on my ubuntu and all is OK now !

This is the first time windows help me for my linux !
