1.4 uses the directory "$HOME/evolution"; 1.5 uses its own directory
($HOME/.evolution). therefore if you change mail and contacts and
appointments in 1.5 this will not affect 1.4-data, but evo-settings are
stored in gconf so if you change them in 1.4 it will also affect 1.5 and
the other way round...

i myself first made a backup of my 1.4-data, then
"evolution --force-shutdown"
and then i installed evo1.5.
when first starting evo-1.5 i forced migration from 1.4:
"evolution-1.5 --force-migrate".

use what you prefer...

hope that helped a little bit,
