        Hi,
yes, it is correct. Do you have actual backup created by evolution, or
you updated your old home folder on-the-fly? As mentioned earlier, your
current ~/.local/share/evolution is quite small, if you stored any
messages there at all.

By the way, run evolution from a terminal the first time you'll run it
after the play with the internal files, there can be printed some useful
information about failures and such.
        Bye,
