I didn't copy the home directory. It's on a different partition; I just
remounted it on the new machine and presto - Evolution started without a

As for moving Evo from one machine to the other - I've got an automated
script the calls shutdown; targz parts of the .evolution directory (a
number of folders; calendar; contacts; filters) and moves them to the
new machine.
