As I said rsync is not and easy and integrated solution.
I want it to be usable by my grandma.

I can't use IMAP because I don't have Internet access. I said disconnected.

Not, if you use a revision control system like gnu arch
The problem is that evolution should use gnu arch directly and store
the data in a format that works well with gnu arch.
Like always using maildirs instead mboxes to store emails and using
the filesystem (one entry per file) instead a Berkeley DB to store data.
