you can import a whole .ics file into evolution. You just have to select

I found that this wasn't as easy as you make it sound.  Back in <1.0.4
at least when I was fighting it, I found that .ics files exported by
Lotus Organiser (I know, but that's what my Ericsson R380s syncs with on
my PCs) wouldn't import to Evo at all - the format was too different.  I
found that StarOffice 5.2's calendar could read the file, though, and
then export an .ics file that Evo *could* read.  But then Evo's Calendar
became somewhat unstable. =O{

As of about 1.0.8 this instability with this data seems to have been
fixed though.

For exporting, .ics is actually the internal format for Evo, so just
copy the calendar.ics file out of ~/evolution/local/Calendar and you
have everything.  It's a text file so you can munge it by hand, if
you're up for it ;O)

Just hoping my experience will help some...
