Your mistake is in not using Evo's built-in backup and restore
functions. See
http://library.gnome.org/users/evolution/3.2/data-storage.html.en and
follow the link to Backup and Restore.

BTW this is a FAQ on the Evo list
(http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list). Questions about
Evo are usually better directed there than here, though of course it
isn't Fedora-specific. And of course questions about F17 should go to
the Test list since it isn't released yet.

you are right about the list....Can I ask a question??
If you make a fresh installation, you are requested to set an account, that is done even if you have copied back your backup folders ..and Restore of backup is done after you have set an account: what am I missing??? is it correct???
Thunderbird has a different behaviour, if you copied back folders you are not asked to set up an account.
