        Hi,
list of all setup calendars is stored in GConf, key
/apps/evolution/calendar/sources
but playing with underlying files while the gconf daemon is running does
"nothing", because the gconf daemon caches those values and rewrites
your file changes. One is supposed to run gconftool-2 --shutdown (and
close all other applications which may invoke a daemon again too) before
playing with gconf files, but even with that it's not a good thing
anyway. Say it's fine when you want to move your setup from one machine
to another, but doing it regularly is really not the best thing. Though
can work when you'll be careful.

When you look on structure of the sources key, then also ensure it'll
point to the right folders (if your username doesn't differ between
machines, then probably nothing to be changed).

Note there are other "sources" for address books, memos, tasks and mail
accounts too.
        Bye,
