Upgrading Evolution 1.4 to 2.0

Thanks for your reply. (I was out of the office yesterday so I've only
just had a chance to try it).

Unfortunately this doesn't fix the issue. Changing the key to 1.4.6
merely causes Evolution to say:

   Delete old data from version 1.4.6?

   The previous version of evolution stored its data in a
   different location.

   If you choose to remove this data, the entire contents 
   of the "evolution" directory will be removed permanently.
   If you choose to keep this data, then you may manually
   remote the contents of "evolution" at your convenience.

Choosing any option doesn't bring her old folders back...
