That is only the configuration - the locally stored data files will be
in .local/share/evolution

That's because these things evolve - Evolution is a well behaved gnome
application, so it stores things where gnome says it should.

Yes, prior to 2.32.0 data was stored in .evolution with configuration in
Gconf.

I notice you sent your last email with Evo 2.28.3 - is this on a

The Evo docs & FAQS have been overhauled recently, they are fairly up to

there should be no need in normal circumstances to alter or play with
Evolution's internal files.
