Did you shutdown evolution before you did the copy on both machines?
evolution --force-shutdown

Nope... nothing.
Just rebooted my F7; installed a fresh copy of F8; start evolution.

You need to (shut it down), at least I always have with any prior
releases. When you log in, parts of it (*) are started up, even if you
don't start up evolution, yourself. You need to shut it completely
down, with that command line, before you put your files in place.

(* The calendar that works with the taskbar clock, for instance.)

I didn't copy the home directory. It's on a different partition; I just
remounted it on the new machine and presto - Evolution started without a
problem.

As for moving Evo from one machine to the other - I've got an automated
script the calls shutdown; targz parts of the .evolution directory (a
number of folders; calendar; contacts; filters) and moves them to the
new machine.
