You also need to copy the config data in gconf.  Copying over
~/.gconf/apps/evolution should suffice, but be sure to have gconfd
shutdown on both machines first.

Using:

gconftool-2 --shutdown
(or maybe gconftool --shutdown on the old machine?)

I would like to move switch my main workstation. The old one is running
a very patched and upgraded redhat 7.3 with ximian evolution 1.4.0. The
new one is running Ubuntu Warty with evolution 2.0.2. What do I need to
move in order to preserve all my account data, virtual folders, real
folders, contacts, etc.?
