I have automated setting up my evolution user preferences using a script
that uses a combination of gconftool2 and sed.  This works well but I
would like to be able to set the user's password for their IMAP server
and LDAP addressbooks. has anyone succeeded in automating this task?  If
not, then can anybody tell me where these passwords are stored and what
format they are encrypted in?

evolution stores your data in "$HOME/.evolution/", your account settings
in "$HOME/.gconf/apps/evolution" and your passwords in
"$HOME/.gnome2_private/Evolution". as far as i know, they are not
encrypted, just base64 encoded.

for your interest: for automated setting of multiple evolution
deployments, Evolution GConf Tools were written. You can get the tarball
at http://people.redhat.com/dmalcolm/evolution-gconf-tools, also see
http://live.gnome.org/Evolution_2fGConfTools for more information.

cheers,
andre
