Those were not using push mechanisms but instead read from the raw data
as written by Evolution. 

The format of this raw data has changed since latest version of
Evolution and therefore wont this code read from the new format.

This is/was also the reason for the development of the push-plugins.

Regretfully the new support didn't make it due to the previously
discussed problem. You can enable it and it'll somewhat work, but it'll
make other parts of Tracker unstable and unresponsive. Therefor it's by
default disabled.
