Evolution 2.0 did import the settings of 1.4 versions just fine. Unless
the migration code was removed (which I doubt), any later version should
be able to import your old data and settings automatically on first
start.

Note: For this to work, your old Evo data and settings have to be in
your $HOME *before* you ever start the new Evolution for that account.

Are you going to re-use your old $HOME? Do you want to switch
partitions / machines? Any further advice depends on your plans how to
upgrade.
