Actually, wasn't there, recently posted, a Zimbra connector, much along
the lines of the Exchange connector, which then, would allow them to
take the information they all have locally stored in their Evolution,
that has built up over the years, and then put it on their new Zimbra
server.

I believe, most of the information is local to each instance of
Evolution, since they are looking for filters, calendar, and contact
conversion, so it wouldn't involve, necessarily any of POP, IMAP or
LDAP.
