Re: [Evolution-hackers] set password / encrpytion method in .gnome2_private/Evolution

Hi,

The entry isn't encrypted, it is just base64 encoded.  There should be a way to base64 a string from a script somehow, try googling.

The account 'id' is the 'uri' used for the account and is munged so that various things like / are replaced by _, but that should be pretty obvious.
