When trying to do above, like I sometimes do when reinstalling the box,
I do below, but this usually only works for some reason on a clean
install, not one that has evolution already ran once or twice.

1 - Don't start evo yet until you copy the dir's over.
2 - Copy your .evolution folder to your home dir. (This dir should not
exist already)
3 - Copy your .gconf/apps/evolution dir to same path on your new box.
(This box should not exist already).
4 - Start evo and except for maybe the name/email/signature initial
setup stuff, your folders and contacts should be there.
