Maybe he could set up an IMAP server on localhost pointing to that
local copy, configure evolution to use that server, copying it to the
local cache (thus transferring the 100 GB on localhost interface), then
change the server configuration to the real server.

I would expect the folders.db to have important(?) differences (for
instance the message UIDs would all be different), but seems like it
should be slightly more compatible. Any opinion on that?
