        Hi,
yes, but make sure the Parent=..... at the top will match the Parent
from the other .source files in that "destination" directory. That's
how it knows to which account it belongs.

No, just run:

   $ evolution --force-shutdown

to have evolution-source-registry (and the rest) restarted.

Yes, +/- some non-obvious exceptions [1], like these subscribed
(foreign) folders. All the rest are discovered on
evolution-source-registry start  (and some other events/occasions),
thus if you drop them from the ~/.cache then it doesn't hurt.

Two places, ~/.config/evolution/sources and
~/.cache/evolution/sources/.

I'm not sure which one you mean. Being it the account the foreign
.source at the top belongs to, then it's the Parent=.... value there.
You'll see something like Parent=xxx, then the file is
~/.config/evolution/sources/xxx.source
In fact, the directory name in the ~/.cache/ is also named xxx for the
discovered sources of that account.
        Bye,
