Ok, I see-- thanks very much. That is helpful.

At this point I've installed Ubuntu 14.04 and have started up evolution, 
putting in my email account info and so forth. I've received mail to the 
account. I tried using the compressed backup to restore all the mail 
etc, but it froze evo when I tried. Did it twice, and it happened both 
times. I would like to try populating the .evolution with my mail and 
address book, and see what happens. The problem is, that I looked in the 
home folder for the .evolution folder which contains all the mail etc, 
but it isn't there. Very surprising, as once an evo account is created 
and used, that is always where it was located in the past. Do I need to 
look somewhere else for it?
