open your redhat 9 evolution
open your folder
select all messages
now select file - save as
this will export your emails to that file
send that file to centos with the new evolution
and import that file to your folder .
now that you are there you can test Mozilla Thunderbird.
to import your mail to Thunderbird copy the saved file to
.thunderbird/YOURUSER.default/Mail/Local Folders
