First let's shutdown evolution and gconftool-2
$ gconftool-2 --shutdown
$ evolution --force-shutdown
Now, let's create an archive with all the required data and configuration files.
To completely save the Evolution data and configuration, you need to save the following directories/files:
1. ~/.evolution/
2. ~/.gconf/apps/evolution/
3. ~/.gnome2_private/Evolution
4. ~/.gconf/apps/evolution/mail/%gconf.xml.
The following command will take care of these
$ cd ~
$ tar -cvzf evolution-backup.tar.gz .evolution .gconf/apps/evolution .gnome2_private/Evolution .gconf/apps/evolution
Now the file evolution-backup.tar.gz is the backup that you will need to move to the destination machine.
Once you are able to move the evolution-backup.tar.gz file to the destination machine, you will need to simply un-tar the archive while in your home directory as before.
Note:
