OK, a cautious 'looks good'.  Took quite a while.  And except for a
quite a few of these:

(evolution:1675): camel-WARNING **: Cannot convert 'DEFAULT_CHARSET' to
'UTF-8', message index may be corrupt
 
(evolution:1676): widgets-WARNING **: Could not open converter for
'X-UNKNOWN' to 'UTF-8' charset

which i don't believe is Unison's or evo's fault, went very well.

So I'm a happy bunny.  A very happy bunny. :D

Next project, get the relevant laptop networking daemons working only
when connected to a LAN, so I'll go back to lurking for a while.

Thanks all.
