I don't mess with .evolution!  The last time I tried this trick
evolution tried to recover and apparently wrote a bunch of of stuff to
the gconf registry, or somewhere, and I lost a _lot_ of data, including
all my address book, which fortunately I had laregely backed up to a
couple of LDAP servers.  When I restored the the old ~/.evolution tree
the lost data did _not_ come back.

I may give this a try.

Evolution is the work of the Devil <grin>.  It's obviously a total dawg
of a program from a programmers perspective - full of potential bugs,
poorly designed data structures, etc.  On the other hand, there's no
other groupware client out there that can really match its features.
Thunderbird/Sunbird tries, but falls short.
