I don't know in Feisty, by in Edgy:

To backup (mails and configuration):
$ gconftool-2 --shutdown
$ evolution --force-shutdown
$ cd $HOME
$ tar czf evolution-backup.tar.gz
--exclude=.evolution/mail/imap .evolution .gnome2_private/Evolution
$ gconftool-2 --dump /apps/evolution > evolution_setting.xml

To restore:
$ gconftool-2 --shutdown
$ evolution --force-shutdown
$ tar xzf evolution-backup.tar.gz
$ gconftool-2 --unload evolution_setting.xml
$ gconftool-2 --load evolution_setting.xml
