Re: [Evolution] Why is ~/evolution not ~/.evolution?

[Aaron Weber <aaron helixcode com>]

Hello all,

The evolution directory doesn't just contain configuration files! It's
got all your mail and data in it.  We wanted to make sure that nobody
would say, "hm, i want to get rid of my preferences. 'rm -rf
.evolution'" and delete all their mail.

At least, that was the reasoning someone gave me when I asked. :>
