[ale] Evolution data migration to a new install

[Mark Wright]

I had the same experience as Christopher only I didn't have an IMAP  
server to hold my address book.  I copied  /.evolution  but could not  
get the new installation to acknowledge any of the old information.   
I did manage to import the address book after exporting as a csv file  
but I couldn't find a way to get eth old mailboxes imported.
