This doesn't work for me, unfortunately. I've tried:

a) killall any evo* processes
b) rm -r ~/.evolution
c) Put old contents into ~/evolution
d) Reboot and start evolution.

Still nothing. Do you know if this only works if you have a previous
version installed beforehand (I didn't, as I put Ubuntu onto a clean
partition, so I started with Evo 2.0.0). Should I file a bug report?

Thank you, Jaime
