How? Just copy the evo folder into my ~? What will then happen to my
evolution-folder? Just imported and then never touched again?
What I did was to copy my "~/evolution" directory to a
"~/not_evolution", and then ran Evolution 1.5. It successfully created
a new "~/.evolution" directory containing the same information in a new
format. I believe it didn't touch the old directory afterwards, and
after using the Evolution 1.5 for a week or so I moved "~/evolution" and
"~/not_evolution" into a "backups" directory.
