You can tar/gzip the ~/home/usernamegoeshere/evolution directory and
then "restore" it to another machine - but you might have some issues
with permissions.

I got around that before by copying the entire evolution directory to a
FAT32 partition, then tar/gzip'ing it, THEN sticking it on another
machine.
