Hang on, have I got this right? You're running BETA software (Fedora 16
is the latest stable release), did not use the recommended method for
transferring data and have cleansed the original system before checking
to see if your backups are usable?  I'm confident the folks here will be
able to help you out, if it is possible.  However I think that the
lesson to be learnt here is to plain your migrations, especially when
beta code is involved.

Everything needed to piece together a borked [1] is found at
<http://library.gnome.org/users/evolution/3.2/data-storage.html.en>

<http://geekubuntu.wordpress.com/2009/11/12/how-to-backup-evolution-mail/> might also be somewhat helpful but 
is *really* out of date.

[1] borked by the user - this is *NOT* Evolution's or GNOME's fault; so
no messages with subjects like "evolution is not reliable"

For a sane/correct way to do this -
