[Evolution-users] Did the database structure change between Evolution versions 3.28-5 and 3.44-4?

I synchronize Evolution on two computers by "rsync"ing their
.local/evolution/mail directories. That went bad when a new OS and
Evolution version was installed on one computer.

Now the old version has this Error message:
   "Error while Storing folder "Home/Sent2023" 
   table Home/Sent2023 has 30 columns but 28 values were supplied"

Sent2023 is a folder under the "On This Computer" folder

rsync gives errors when used to update the new version's files on the
external drive used to transfer the files. Example of such errors:
   "evolution/mail/local/.Home.Old2023/cur/1690829799.3958_712.user:2,R
   S
   rsync: [receiver] mkstemp
   "/media/user/externaldrive/evolution/mail/local/.Home.Old2023/cur/.1
   690829799.3958_712.user:2,RS.01QFxH" failed: Invalid argument (22)

A file update is done and then it gives an error about that file.

The result is that saved emails, since the upgrades, no longer appear
in the folders under "On This Computer". They seem to exist in the
'cur' folders in the 'evolution/mail/local' directory

Old versions
 Ubuntu 18.04.4 Evolution 3.28.5-0ubuntu0. 18.04.02

New versions
 Ubuntu 22.04.3 Evolution 3.44.4-0ubuntu2
