The user is, and upgrade dialog appears [at least I recall one; maybe
Ubuntu in their infinite user-experience wisdom disable it?]  It has
also been mentioned here over-and-over-and-over.

I'm om Debian, an I did not see anything related to this when upgrading. BTW: I looked at the log files and 
found out that the upgrade was from 2.30.3-5 to 2.32.2-1

It could maybe behave a little more graciously, like showing a big warning that the file system is no longer 
available,  increase the interval between backup writing, etc.

Do you mean that I should edit the preferences deleting the IMAP account or, manually deleting the 
.local/share/evolution/mail/imap folder? Where is the data stored in gconf? BTW: Why has evo setting to be in 
two differnt places, .gconf and .local?

I'm adding the quotations '>' manually, and the reply type is top posting: Microsoft Outlook Web App. How to 
change settings until I'm back using evo??
