Thank you for the pointer, it works!!

This is not the case, I just want to use evo and other stuff on the new
computer with .evolution on an AFS area. The difference is that on the
new computer the home directory is not under AFS while the old one was.
The AFS directory is backed up so i need to store all my valuable files
there, e.g. locally stored mail folders.

Are there any other directories you recommend to link to, now I
have .evolution and .mozilla linked to the AFS directory. Any other
directories to link to, .gnome, .gnome2, .nautilus, etc?
