Evolution profile


So I had evolution running under Debian. I decided to change to Gentoo. So I thought that keeping ~/.evolution would be the wise thing and just copy the files back once gentoo was installed.

However I decided not to copy the files back there but keep them in a seperate partition and then symlink back

Code:
jongi ~ $ ls -la .evolution
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jongi jongi 25 Jan 18 22:17 .evolution -> /data/profiles/evolution/
However when I run Evolution it still wants to take me through a install wizard. What have I missed here?

As it turns out I do have the Debian install backed up so I am able to get the files from that system.

or
/data/profiles/.evolution
