Evolution stores contact lists as a special vcard:

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
REV:2009-10-06T06:58:07Z
UID:pas-id-4ACAEA7F00000001
EMAIL;X-EVOLUTION-DEST-CONTACT-UID="pas-id-4ACAEA6E00000000";X-EVOLUTION-DE
 ST-EMAIL-NUM=0;X-EVOLUTION-DEST-HTML-MAIL=FALSE:John Doe <john@work.
 com>
EMAIL;X-EVOLUTION-DEST-CONTACT-UID="pas-id-4ACAEA6E00000010";X-EVOLUTION-DE
 ST-EMAIL-NUM=0;X-EVOLUTION-DEST-HTML-MAIL=FALSE:Joan Doe <joan@home.
 com>
X-EVOLUTION-LIST-SHOW_ADDRESSES:FALSE
X-EVOLUTION-LIST:TRUE
N:;alias;;;
FN:alias
X-EVOLUTION-FILE-AS:alias
END:VCARD

This extension of the vCard standard is not currently supported by
SyncEvolution >= 0.9. It used to be supported in SyncEvolution < 0.9, because
that version passed through the special properties unchanged. However, I'm not
aware of any SyncML server which stores these extensions. According to Mark,
ScheduleWorld doesn't: http://www.scheduleworld.com/jforum/posts/list/2858.page

We should figure out what the individual X-EVOLUTION extensions mean and then
support as much of them as possible for direct Evolution<->Evolution sync.

Preserving the UID in the contact list most likely doesn't work, because the
UID has no meaning outside of the local Evolution instance.
