The best way of dealing with this is to set up an IMAP server, and get all your mail delivered into it. Then move ( or maybe copy, to be safe ) your existing mail from evolution into the imap server. Then you can connect both evolution and thunderbird to your IMAP server, and both will have live access to your email. It's a bit of mucking around to set up, but it's well worth it.
Thanks. That solves the problem. Gordon
