Simply doing an initial run of Evo to set the basic mail parameters and flying in the old ~/evolution folder in place of the one that gets created does not work, nor does it work to compy the old one into the new one.  Evo's import functions don't seem to deal with this either.  What to do?

It is truly a PIA. The _ONLY_ way to migrate that works is to import
each individual mail file one at a time. I have about 35 different mail
folders. It was no fun. I guess they go too busy sleeping with $Novell$
to be bothered with making a good upgrade path.

Oh, yeah. Doing an upgrade of the entire OS to a new one with evo2.x
won't do it either.
