There is a migration dialog when you start it for the first time after
upgrading (and you are offered to import a backup file at the first
run).

If the user needlessly shot him/herself in the foot by tinkering with
hidden folders (hidden. for a reason.) instead of using Evolution's
Backup/Restore functionality, then user documentation won't stop him/her
either. A support channel (like this mailing list) is more helpful for
such specific situations.
