Lanny, if you are concerned about data loss, you could install a local imap
server (over wich you'll can do all the backups that you like) and keep it in
sync with google with imapsync (rpmforge repository).
Looks simple and straightforward to do:

I just discovered that the mbox files are *not* the problem! Exporting my Address book from Evolution is not intuitively obvious. I found a web page from May 2006, that says: "Export the evolution address book with the evolution-addressbook-export utility in csv format" and it said to use this command: /usr/lib/evolution/2.X/evolution-addressbook-export --format=csv > contacts.csv
but I cannot find evolution-addressbook-export there.
I have been using Evolution for years, because Upstream defaults to it, but YUK..... I am moving to Thunderbird and I am not going to look back. I will keep searching, for a hopefully simple way to Export my contacts from Evolution, so I can Import them into Thunderbird..... :-)
