This actually wont do anything, it will just delete all of your accounts and other settings. And as a side-effect, as you've discovered, it will wreck all of your filters (even if you hadn't have removed .evolution they would point to a now-removed account).
You "just" needed to remove the stuff in ~/.evolution/mail/imap/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ or maybe even just the one file ".ev-store-summary" in that directory.
