Nope. Passwords and some other info are stored by gconf-something. Check the archives [1] for an older thread in which I participated and where a couple of people explained it well. But you need to back up two things, the .evolution directory and an exported set of stuff from gconf- something.
[1] Check the archives for both fedora-list and fedora-test-list. And please, use MARC (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com) to save your sanity... the Red Hat archives are useless.
How about this: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-October/msg02660.html
