I don't keep messages that don't lead to solutions to my problems, so I 
must apologize for not having memorized the subject line.

I don't keep messages that don't lead to solutions to my problems. If I 
remember the referenced message, it had two http links that led to pages 
wherein several users complained of the same problem I was having, but 
no solutions were offered.

Maybe I misremember.

Is there a way to delete all of evolution's configuration files and 
start over?

I got the current problems because a disk drive died. I had been running 
Scientific Linux 6.9 on a 32-bit system. I got a new disk drive and a 
new computer. I installed SL 7.10 (because CentOS 8.1 doesn't have KDE), 
and restored my account from a backup. Maybe settings from the antique 
Evolution in SL 6.9 have confused the newer Evolution. I noticed that 
the names of some of the files in .config/evolution/sources have 
"@VanCE5" in their names. That's a hold-over from several years ago, 
when I was using CentOS 5.

I'm currently using Thunderbird, but I really dislike it. I also have 
thousands of messages in Evolution archives, both on my home computer 
and my work computer. I have no idea whether I can access those messages 
in Thunderbird. If I can get Evolution working correctly, I won't have 
to worry about that.
