IMAP is definitely the standard/preferred way of doing this.  However, I
understand that IMAP isn't always an option (and doesn't always perform
well).  So you may want to try either the backup/restore plugin from the
evolution-plugins-experimental package (at least thats where Debian puts
it), or, alternatively, you could try copying files between your
~/.evolution/mail/pop/<account-name>/cache folders.

I've never used either option I just suggested, so make a backup copy of
your ~/.evolution folder before trying anything.
