I had many folders and filters and mail in general in Evolution on my previous Ubuntu install, which I thought would be available for me for I had backed up my home directory.

I have copied now Evolution related folders to my new home directory, and Evolution is not showing either the folders I had or any of the filters.

To be more precise, I have copied the mail folder to ~/.config/evolution/ but that hasn't changed anything, as I said.
