See how evolution-ews stores its settings on an ESource for > an example (it uses an ESourceCollection for the parent ESource). Currently, the activesyncd dæmon is independent of Evolution. It provides a DBus API which is used both from Evolution (for email), and from SyncEvolution (for contacts/calendar). So I'm a little reluctant to make it depend on ESource for configuration. > Alternatively, maybe, create your own API on top of a GKeyFile and > store the account information in it? Perhaps. I note GOA does something like this for its account storage. But I think I like your first option better.
