Re: [Evolution] evolution config info stored where?

[Paul Hands <phands cadence com>]

Hi,

The wizard creates a directory, called "evolution" in each user's home account.  All the setup info is in there.  The main file is called config.xmldb, but the other stuff (directories as well as files) is important too.  I would study this carefully before attempting anything ambitious, as I've found that changing things can have strange effects.
