This allowed me to replicate most of my settings, and when I add a new filter in

Desktop it replicates in the notebook.

However, labels seem to be stored in ~/config/dconf/user, which is a single

binary file with lots of other things that make replicating it via cloud likely

to be a bad idea.

I did manually copied the labels from that file and pasted in the same file in

my notebook, but I would have to do this to all computers every time I add a new

label.

Is there a method to do this synchronization easier?

Any ideas on how to automate this process?

I apologize if I am missing something very basic, but I am new to evolution and

did try to find references on it.

This is dconf (think like windows registry), not evolution-specific

You can read with 

 dconf read /org/gnome/evolution/mail/labels > labels.txt

and write at the other side with eg.

 dconf write /org/gnome/evolution/mail/labels "$(<labels.txt)"

if you wan to have a look manually, you can use dconf-editor

Best regards
