Good, me too! And my .evolution is still fairly small. I wrote a small
script for myself to do incremental backups, i.e. files that have
changed, have been added since the last backup. See here:

Just go to Preferences (Ctrl-Shift-s) and create a new account. Choose
one of those mbox or maildir types and move the mail that you want to
have archived there. 

Hope that helps.
