The problem is, the values assigned are missing quotes, eg: enable=true
should be enabled="true". Eg of a corrected string,

Once you set the gconf string using gconf-tool. Kill gconf or use
gconftool-2 --shutdown - for the values for to be synced.

Try starting evolution from the terminal to see if there are any parsing
errors. If there arent any, the account setup dialog wont popup.
