Not sure when the transition was made, but it was seamless for me.  I've
been using Evolution for years.  Moved from RedHat to SuSE to Mandrake
on my main box.  I now have Evolution 2.03 and I've never done anything
more than leave my home directory alone when moving from one distro to
another or upgrading from one release to the next.
