If those really are rfc822 mail files, you could probably just concatenate them together (which would produce an mbox file) and copy the mbox file to ~/.evolution/mail/local/.
Something like: cd ~/.evolution/mail/exchange/<acct>/personal/sub/folders/Saved\ Items/ cat * >cache-mbox mv cache-mbox ~/.evolution/mail/local/ It's possible that the rfc822 files do not end with a blank line. If that's so, the above may not work (mbox files are rfc822 messages separated by blank lines). When the cache-mbox file is in the evolution local mail directory, restarting evolution should get it to show up in your folder list.
