open your redhat 9  evolution
open your folder
select all messages
now  select  file -  save as

this will export your emails  to that file
send that file to centos with the  new evolution
and  import  that file   to your folder .

now that you are  there   you can test   Mozilla Thunderbird.
to import your mail to Thunderbird  copy the  saved  file  to
.thunderbird/YOURUSER.default/Mail/Local Folders
