[Evolution] Need help identifying files



One of our Ubuntu 12.04 (64-bit) boxes (my wife's) has apparently
experienced a corrupted database file - when she tries to retrieve
mail from Evo 3.2.3, she gets the messages:          

ERROR WHILE GENERATING MESSAGE LIST

DATABASE DISK IMAGE IS MALFORMED.

I have done considerable research, to the extent of finding some blog
posts which deliver what looks like a workable fix. But the problem
I have now is that everything I have found relates to versions earlier
than what we have, and to 32-bit versions, in which the name of the db
is something different than what it apparently is in the newer version.

I have verified that the file in question, folders.db, is present
in 32-bit versions, but does not show up in our 64-bit versions.
Clearly Evo has changed the name, and probably the location as well,
because all the paths are definitely different. For example, rather than
the former practice of the ".evolution" directory appearing directly
under "/home/[user]", it's now under /home/[user]/.local/share,and as
"evolution", not as ".evolution".But in all the dicking
around I've had to do in Evo, I've yet to locate any usable reference
as to what Evo names its internals, and where it puts them.
Does anyone know what the name is for the primary folder database file
in 3.2.3 under 64-bit 12.04? Better yet, can anyone point me to a
reference source that would disclose these kinds of internal structures?

Thanks,


Brewster
