Here's how to force migration:

Be careful and read the caveats! This will overwrite all your Evolution
2.0.x data and start over with the 1.4.x data (if available). Thus you
will lose any changes and added data (like Contacts, POP3 mail) done
with 2.0.x only.

Evolution uses GConf for storing most settings, including account data.
See the GConf tree /apps/evolution.

Use 'gconf-editor' or 'gconftool-2' for any changes. If you plan on
simply removing the entire ~/.gconf/apps/evolution directory, be sure to
kill the gconf daemon before.


> Is there a command to cause evolution to initialize itself?

See the link and GConf part above.

$ evolution --help
