This is saved as a gconf key, and is not searchable via grep due to
string substitution , i.e., & with &amp and like-wise .

The command-set below may help, and i have _not tested_ this .


gconftool-2 --get /apps/evolution/mail/accounts > /tmp/account_list
sed s/old_smtp/new_smtp/ account_list > account_list_modified
gconftool --unset /apps/evolution/mail/accounts
gconftool-2 --load < /tmp/account_list_modified


ps : on a additional note, i believe evolution has ldap backend for
settings .
