Perhaps there's a live CD/DVD that comes with Evolution. Can't you
temporarily install a second Linux or install another distro running as
guest in VBox on your Mint and use Evolution on that other distro to
extract the backup and export the mails? Did you already try to open a
Evolution backup? Perhaps it's just a tar archive or similar.
