[ale] Evolution data migration to a new install

[danlambert at bellsouth.net]

I had to do this on and Ubuntu box when I bought my new laptop. 
If you will go to your home folder and make the hidden files viewable, you will find a .evolution folder. In it are all of your calendar and mail files.

Copy the contents of that folder to a removable drive, and then paste the contents into the .evolution folder on your new system. You should have all of the mails in your folders on the new system.
