Data storage locations
This is only interesting for advanced users who want to debug problems.
Evolution 3.6 and later stores its data according to the XDG Base Directory Specification. By default this means:
-
The user's data files
$HOME/.local/share/evolution
-
Various configuration and state files
$HOME/.config/evolution
-
Account settings
$HOME/.config/evolution/sources
-
Disposable data caches
$HOME/.cache/evolution
-
Configuration settings in GSettings
$HOME/.config/dconf
