[ale] Evolution data migration to a new install

[Christopher Fowler]

I tried to do this when I upgraded to FC7 from FC6

cp -dpvR /FC6/home/cfowler/.evolution ~/

I then started evolution and it seem to ignore all the stuff I tried to
copy over.  Luckily everything is on IMAP so I only had to reenter my
account info.  I never did get my Sent folder copied over.
