Somewhere in the debian users mailing list archive there is a
complicated way to handle this issue. We had problems to import our
mails, even when we used the same versions of Evolution version 2.
See the Forwarded messages, you need to search for this thread.

I'm not sure for Ubuntu Natty, I'll take a look tomorrow. What's to
Debian Squeeze 6.01, it's still ~/.evolution on my system.

Did you mean newsgroup filters? I did not get this trouble since I've
never used Evolution as my newsgroup reader. I use Pan instead.
But I did not loose any of my e-mail filters.

I'm glad it worked for you. And thanks for sharing back. I'll add your
