Hi Dave,

I had a similar problem, but I caused it myself.  Because I had another Linux computer handy I "Copied" the home 
directory across to that notebook so that I could repartition the desktop.  That done I copied it all back again and got the 
surprise that perhaps has afflicted you.  Because I was in haste I did not tar the /home/andrew directory, as a consequence the 
.evolution folder was not included in my "backup" and of course had nothing in it after starting Evo again as it just 
wrote a new (empty) one.  Perhaps you still have a copy of an evolution folder from 1.4.6 kicking around that will give you most 
of your contacts


Hope so

Andrew
