I'm sorry to say I have a feeling you misunderstood Guenther's answer.
The hardcocded part is the directory evolution stores data in
(~/evolution for <=1.4, ~/.evolution for >=1.5), no home directory
itself (/home/lsafar).

It's written in the mail you've mentioned above that linking to other
directory should do as expected as well (it's the job of filesystem then
to lead you to the right place).

The only way to access data on Windows Server is smbmount, if you mount
it to /home/ it's your decission :-). Be sure it handles all user rights
correctly.
