The short answer is no. You can't even reliably import filters from one
instance of Evo to another (unless you massage the XML files).

Are there folders local or remote? You don't say. If they're on an IMAP
server you just need to configure Evo to point at the server and you're
done. If they're local POP folders it's probably still easier to copy
them to an IMAP server and back again.
