Note that the step about copying/backing-up ~/.gconf/apps/evolution is
also necessary (and which you got right). You can combine it all into
one step:
evolution --force-shutdown
cd ~
find evolution -name "mbox.*" -exec rm -f '{}' ';'
tar -cvzf /path/to/evolution.tar.gz evolution .gconf/apps/evolution
(replacing "/path/to/" with the actual directory/mountpoint where you
want the backup). To restore, do this:
evolution --force-shutdown
cd ~
tar -xvzf /path/to/evolution.tar.gz
that will overwrite your current files with the old ones. If you want to
move the old ones first, rather than overwrite them, do this:
evolution --force-shutdown
cd ~
mv evolution evolution.old
mv .gconf/apps/evolution evolution.gconf.old
tar -xvzf /path/to/evolution.tar.gz
HTH.
Best, Darren
