About every Evolution settings are stored using GConf. You can find the
(mainly for backup purposes) in your ~/.gconf/apps/evolution/ directory.

The signatures itself are stored under ~/evolution/, but the account
settings (and assignment of sigs to accounts) are stored using GConf.


To see these settings and maybe understand them, use 'gconf-editor' to
get the XML structure in a handy tree.
