I was upgrading from FC3 to FC5.  When I went to import my inbox, with
about 6 months of recent mail, Evolution crashed.  It didn't crash on
other mail files of comparable size, just inbox.  I tried various things
but it crashed repeatedly.  Luckily, I had a machine that I had left at
FC3 until my other upgrades were completed.  I was able to bring up my
email inbox on that machine and break it up into smaller pieces that I
successfully imported.  

The crashes occurred in the very first part of the import, while
Evolution was discovering the format of the mail file.

BTW, Evolution did not recognize my FC3 mail data and there was no way
to point to it for multi-file import.  I had to do it as individual
files.
