Hi Aaron,

Make sure evolution is entirely shutdown on the machine you are copying
from and to.  Since everything is using evolution-data-server
(particular the Gnome pieces) these days, I like to do this from one of
the text-mode consoles (GUI not logged in)...

On source machine:

$ evolution --force-shutdown
$ tar czvf mailtransfer.tgz ~/.evolution ~/.gconf/apps/evolution
~/.gnome2_private/Evolution ~/.gnupg

Copy that file over to the target machine:

$ evolution --force-shutdown
$ gconftool-2 --shutdown
$ cd
$ tar xzvf mailtransfer.tgz

HTH,

--Rob
