Re: [Evolution] IMAP bug in 2.4?

[Harry Lu <Harry Lu Sun COM>]

Close Evolution, then run ($gconftool-2 --recursive-unset 
"/apps/evolution") should clear all your personal evolution settings in 
gconf, including account settings.
I am not sure whether you need to remove .evolution, but you can make a 
backup of it first before you remove it.
