Aha!  Thanks, I think you've solved my problem too.  Copying my old mailbox 
over from an older installation wasn't working because I didn't know about 
the .gconf stuff...  Once I'd taken that across too it ran an import wizard 
the next time I started it up.  I had to move the old mail back into 
"evolution" rather than ".evolution" as there were some paths assuming the 
old location, but I can now see a number of folders full of all my old mail.
