Hi Andre, thanks for your answers.
I killed all evolution-processes, moved a copy of the old ".evolution" folder and also the ".gconf/evolution" to my new home-directory and restarted evolution. evolution-2.4 creates a new inbox-file in ".evolution/mail/local" named for example "Inbox". my old stuff (mail and subfolders) is in ".evolution/local", there is a folder (!) "Posteingang" (the german Inbox) and will not be recognized. Moving the "local"-folder to the right place is not helpful, because evolution shows the right foldernames with subfolders (folder-metadata.xml, local-metadata.xml, mbox, subfolders). Clicking on every subfolder produces the error: "folder doesn't exist". Only the mails are a problem. My Contacts are found in 2.4.1.
