[opensuse] Evolution backup/restore problem

Hi all,

I just upgraded my main system from OpenSuSE 10.3 to 11.0. I use
evolution for my calendar and mail, and as I've done in the past, I
made a backup of my home directory before doing the new install. Then I
copied back the contents of ~/.evolution, ~/.gconf/apps/evolution, and
~/.gnome2_private/Evolution. I thought that was all I had done in the
past, and that had been sufficient to restore all my mail
configurations, folders, etc. But this time it doesn't seem to have
worked. When I start evolution, it seems to come up as a new install,
and starts taking me through the wizard to set it all up.

Can anyone suggest what I might have done wrong?

TIA
Cheers,
Simon
