Deleting the account does not delete the 
.local/share/evolution/mail/imap /_my_account_
Why?

See above.

It has settings in gconf, data in .local - it is a consistent
separation.  And don't go round changing .gconf - use a gconf editor to
change things. (The .gconf folder hierarchy is a method of maintaining
state between login sessions and is re-written from the in-memory gconf
info when gconfd exits.)

Looks like  I have to use gconf-editor. Any hints on what to change?
