FWIW this doesn't seme to work too well for me.

Force migrade WONT remove ~/.evolution thankfully ... (or should hope it
doesn't).

The most reliable way:

 evolution-1.5 --force-shutdown
 rm -rf ~/.evolution yourself
 gconftool-2 --set --type string /apps/evolution/version --value 1.4.0
 evolution-1.5
