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
