How to resurrect Evolution by copying user's home directory and without backup and restore?

I recently suffered a system crash. Luckily the /home directories were in-tact. However, after reloading the OS and copying the /home directories back into place, correcting the SID, deleting the .cache/ folder, Evolution has some challenges. When I start Evolution, it asks for the email account information like a new machine. It doesn't seem to see the files in .config/evolution and .local/share/evolution. In those file, I can see thousands of files (my email)

Is there a way to get Evolution working again to "see" these files and not ask me for new account information?

It's hard to tell if Evolution already does see the files because it's asking me for account information first.

There are some related SO articles, but they didn't help me.
