What extensions are you worried about, specifically?  And what's the use
case for configuring them by hand?

This page explains which extensions are typically present in a given
type of key file: https://live.gnome.org/Evolution/ESourceFileFormat

The various "config" modules in Evolution [1] serve as configuration
backends for the account editor and the "New Address Book" and "New
Calendar" dialogs.  Each module knows what extensions are supported by
its respective Camel/E-D-S backend.
