Many thanks for the detailed reply.

A different copy of Evolution (on my work desktop) is subscribed to the
calendar and a .source file exists in the .cache/evolution/sources
folder that references it. Can I just copy that file to my home
machine?  Is there a dconf key or something that I need to set for
Evolution to see it?

Also, I thought that all .cache files were disposable - is that the
only place the accounts are configured? I can't find a reference to the
calendar or the .source file in ~/.config/evolution/sources folder on
my work desktop (which was where I looked originally).

Thanks again.
