[ale] Evolution Migration 1.4 -> 2.02

[Jeff Hubbs]

My attempt to concatenate all of the old one-file-per-message files to
the new monolithic Inbox file dind't work.  At launch, Evo tried to
re-index the massive Inbox file but I would up with an Inbox with a few
dozen "megamessages" with no subject, source, or date.  

So. word of warning:  Evolution 1.x to 2.x upgrades can be hell on
skates when it comes to retaining messages.  There is probably a way to
do it, but I'm not sure it's worth the effort.  The under-RAMmed machine
tried to curl up and die at the thought of opening one of those messages
up.
