Hmm, I think you should be able to copy everything in local without a
problem.  Anbd that includes the local addressbook, mail and calendar.

The filters.xml and vfolders.xml files in ~/evolution should be stored
in plain utf8 and so editable, or just rebuild them from scratch. 
config.xmldb should probably be removed/reset, or maybe just re-edit the
various accounts.
