Uhm, no -- you should not need that FAQ.

Just make sure to copy back your data and settings after the "clean"
install and /before/ running Evolution (any app) the first time. With a
fresh and clean $HOME you sure do not get any of your old settings.

Evolution will migrate your data, when running for the first time and
detecting old data. There is no point in migrating automatically, if it
isn't running for the first time. Well, this applies to all apps, it's
not Evo specific...

It does. If you have your old Evo configuration around.

Yeah, missing this dir is the most common issue when moving to another
system. GConf is where all you're Evo settings are stored.
